Abstract: A clip for attaching an end of a web to a drive belt. The clip comprises an elongate mount for receiving an end of the web, and an attachment section for securing the clip to the belt. The attachment section comprises two spaced pairs of claws for gripping the drive belt such that the drive belt and the web are substantially parallel and a flexible support connecting the two spaced pairs of claws providing flexibility in the direction of travel, such that, in use, the flexible support can deform to conform to the path of the drive belt as the drive belt passes through a processing apparatus. The resulting clip is easy to use, reliable during use and easily removed from the drive belt at the end of a processing operation.

Abstract: A photographic processor for processing a photosensitive material. The processor comprising at least one processing section having a generally U-shaped processing channel for holding a processing solution through which the photosensitive material passes. A belt is provided for transporting of the photosensitive material through the generally U-shaped processing channel. The generally U-shaped channel comprises a first generally straight section in which the photosensitive material enters the processing channel, a second generally straight section through which the photosensitive material exits the U-shaped processing channel, and a turn-around section connecting the first and second sections. The turn-around section has a radius of curvature of a predetermined value. The first and second straight sections having a cross-sectional thickness T, and the turn-around section has a cross-sectional thickness TR greater than the cross-sectional thickness T.
