ABSTRACT:
Described herein is processing apparatus in which processing solution can be applied in precise quantities to the sensitive surface of a photographic material. The apparatus includes at least one processing stage in which an endless belt is utilized to support the material and to guide it through the processing stage. Applicator devices are positioned above the surface of the belt for applying processing solution to the material. The applicator device can include an upper roller and two lower rollers confined in a cage, with the upper roller forcing the lower rollers apart inside the cage. A metering means is positioned to allow processing solution to flow onto the upper roller and then down onto lower rollers, with the lower rollers (44, 46) applying processing solution to the material.
