ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for controlling the loose trailing end of a strip of paper passing through a photographic dryer and includes soft, readily yieldable retarding elements mounted in inclined relation to the downward run of the path of the paper strip through the dryer in generally opposed relation to the discharge of hot drying air from a pressurized distribution plenum. In paper processors individual strips of photographic prints are transported therethrough by being attached at their leading ends to a transport belt which carries the strips through a tortuous path including a downward run with the hot drying air being blown against the surface of the paper to be dried. Since only the leading end of the photographic paper is attached to the transport belt, the trailing end is loose and tends to fall down within the downward run portion of the drying chamber.
