ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for processing a filmstrip contained in a film cartridge, the filmstrip having a trailing end secured to the cartridge. The apparatus includes at least one processing tank for holding a processing solution therein and a holding mechanism for holding and retaining a film cartridge containing a filmstrip. The holding mechanism includes a reel assembly for receiving and holding a portion of the filmstrip as it exits the film cartridge. The reel assembly capable of being positioned within the at least one processing tank so that the filmstrip will be submersed within a processing solution contained in the at least one processing tank. The apparatus further includes a transport mechanism for moving the holding mechanism along the apparatus so that the holding mechanism can be located the at least one processing tank, an agitation mechanism for agitating the processing solution contained in the tank and causing the processing solution to flow adjacent the filmstrip and a baffle for minimizing the introduction of air into the processing solution within the at least one processing tank.
