ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the processing of a film, contained in a cassette being of the kind comprising a substantially cylindrical cassette body formed with a light-tight, longitudinally extending film exit slot device, end caps on said cassette body and a spool held between these end caps and having the film wound thereon, comprises a light-tight enclosure provided with a cassette body-retaining block shaped to receive and retain the cassette body, and also provided with a space intended to contain liquid for processing the film and being sufficiently large to receive from the cassette the spool with the film wound thereon. A gripping organ for engaging an end cap of the cassette permits relative movement between the retained cassette and the gripping organ such that, when they are moved away from one another, an end cap of the cassette is pulled off the cassette. At the same time, a spool engaging element pulls the spool with the film wound thereon, out of the cassette body and into the space.
