ABSTRACT:
A development station for electrographic apparatus has a magnetic brush which receives developer material from a sump and applies it to a latent image on a photoconductor. A metering slot for the developer material is provided adjacent the magnetic brush. A gate mechanism controls flow of developer material through the slot by moving between an open position adjacent the metering slot to allow developer material to pass through the slot and a closed position to block flow of developer material through the slot. A wiper blade removes excess developer material from the brush after the image has been developed. The wiper blade is movable into and out of engagement with the magnetic brush and is coupled to the gate mechanism so that when the gate is closed the wiper blade is out of engagement with the brush.
