ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for developing exposed sheets of photographic material has a developing tank and a fixing tank which are separated by a vertical dividing wall, Each of the tanks has a transporting system for continuously transporting the exposed sheets through the respective tank, A transferring unit is located adjacent the upper end of the dividing wall and functions to transfer the sheets from the developing tank to the fixing tank without interruption, The transferring unit includes a pair of withdrawing rollers which grip the sheets as they emerge from the developing tank and a pair of feeding rollers which receive the sheets from the withdrawing rollers and advance the sheets into the fixing tank, The axes of the rollers are parallel to one another. The axes of the withdrawing rollers lie in a first plane which is inclined to the horizontal at an angle of 30 to 60 degrees and the axes of the feeding rollers lie in an oppositely inclined second plane which likewise makes an angle of 30 to 60 degrees with the horizontal, The withdrawing rollers cooperate with the feeding rollers to define a trough-like space and a guide roller projects into this space, The guide roller intercepts the leading ends of the sheets as they emerge from the withdrawing rollers and directs the leading ends to the feeding rollers,
