Bath for processing colour prints - has tank in horizontal position for receiving chemicals and pivoted to vertical position for emptying

摘要

The bath comprises a deep tray (34) partly filled with water and controlled thermostatically. This is used to store bottles of chemicals at a constant temperature and to warm the bottom of the developing tank. The tank (1) is hinged (15) to one side of the tray and pivots from the horizontal to the vertical. In the former position, the film (18) is held by a grille (19) onto the bottom of the tank and the chemicals poured into a slot (23), past baffles. When brought to the vertical position, these chemicals are emptied through a discharge orifice (3).
