ABSTRACT:
A film-engaging mechanism for incorporation in a camera which uses self-developing film has a unitary transport receptacle for a film cassette and a processor for developing the film. The receptacle houses a replaceable film cassette, positions it to align the foremost film unit therein at the image surface of the camera, and advances each film unit for transport to the processor. The receptacle also aligns the processor to receive each advancing film unit and subjects it to the critical operations that assure proper photographic development. The transport receptacle is well-suited for construction with a unitary compartment-forming frame formed of a single metal sheet, and which requires only few additional parts to complete the unit.
