A combination machine for developing and printing photographic material continuously and automatically

摘要

A combination machine (3) for developing and printing photographic material continously and automatically, composed of modules (4, 5, 6, 7) allowing easy mutual assembly and separation. The basic structure of such a machine comprises a module (4) for printing from film onto paper, surmounting a print developing module (5), this in turn positioned alongside a module (6) housing devices by which prints emerging from the developing module (5) are dried, as well as containers holding the liquids used to regenerate and replenish the various chemical treatment baths. An additional module (7) for developing film can be positioned on top of the drier module (6), whilst the print module (4) is also hinged at the bottom along one side to the outer edge of the module (5) beneath in such a way as to tilt clear and allow easy access to the inside of the machine (3) for the purposes of cleaning and servicing.
