ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a method of and apparatus for developing an elongated strip of photographic film of the self-developing type. The apparatus comprises an imbibing assembly including a wheel assembly of large diameter mounted for rotation on a given axis. Means on the wheel assembly support the strip of film on the perimeter of the wheel assembly and include means providing access of a leading portion of the film to the interior portion defined by the wheel assembly. Drive means rotate both the wheel assembly and a take-up reel located interiorly of the assembly and to which the leading portion of the film is attached. The drive means advances the film around the perimeter of the wheel assembly and into the interior portion, whereby successive sections of the film with its processing fluid layer are advanced over at least a portion of the perimeter of the wheel assembly for imbibition and then advanced into the interior portion of the wheel for take-up.
