ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for processing photosensitive material 10. The photosensitive material 10 is conveyed through a low volume process chamber 160 defining a transport path 150 that reverses direction. The tank section has a U-shaped cavity 380 with smooth inner walls 370 and 370'. The complimentary shaped rack section 100 with smooth outer walls 110 and 110' fits inside the U-shaped cavity 380 of the tank section 300 and is separated from the tank section 300 by a narrowly spaced distance. The inner walls 370 and 370' of the tank section 300 and the outer walls 110 and 110' of the rack section 100 form both the transport path 150 for transporting the photosensitive material 10 and the low volume process chamber 160 for processing the photosensitive material 10. Sprockets 206 disposed on the rims 204 of a plurality of drive wheels 200 and 201 engage the apertures 510 of the leader card 500 attached to the photosensitive material 10 thereby moving the photosensitive material 10 along the transport path 150 and through the processing fluid contained in the low volume process chamber 160.
