Abstract: Apparatus for automatically treating photosensitive paper after exposure in an automatic camera comprises four treatment tanks each having its own dipping mechanism, and three transfer mechanisms between the tanks. Each dipping mechanism and each transfer mechanism comprises a pair of grooves in which the paper can slide, and one or two motor-driven teeth to push the paper along the grooves. By use of separate dipping mechanisms and separate transfer mechanisms, only the paper travels from tank to tank, minimizing transfer of fluid from one tank to the next.

Abstract: A camera for automatically producing an identity card entirely photographically with writing and a picture of the person on the card, can selectively either photograph the actual person or a picture of the person, so that it is not necessary for the person to be present if that person can furnish a photograph. The camera feeds roll film to a first exposure station where borders are produced by exposure to saturation light, then to a second exposure station for photographing the writing and, optionally, the photograph of the person, then to a third exposure station for the optional photograph of the actual person. The second exposure station has a selectively operable mask for shielding part of the film from light if the third exposure station is to be used for photographing the actual person.
