Abstract: An integrated photographic processing system is equipped with a series of processing stations that are all arranged inside a shared housing. These include an input station for undeveloped, exposed roll film, e.g., miniature film coiled in film magazines. In this input station the inserted roll films are uncoiled and fed into a film conveyance system of an adjacent film processor. In the film processor, the photographic films are developed. At the output of the film processor, a projection printer is arranged for image-by-image exposure onto photographic paper of negatives contained on the developed film. The projection printer is equipped with its own conveyance system for the developed film. Finally, there are also a paper processor for developing the exposed photographic paper, and output stations for the developed film and the developed paper images.

Abstract: The level of chemical treatment baths is automatically, compensated, in film developing machines. A vessel (90) contains a supply of water which is directed by a pump (50) and a pipeline (51) through a manifold (7) to baths (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) by way of feed pipelines (71, 72, 73, 74, 75). Each pipeline is controlled by respective solenoid valve (61, 62, 63, 64, 65) controlled to operate simultaneously with the pump (50) by way of an electronic control unit (41) in receipt of signals relayed from sensors (21, 22, 23, 24, 25) designed to detect a drop in the level of the solutions in the baths (11, 12, 13, 14, 15). The feed outlets of the pipelines (71, 72, 73, 74 75) discharge above the level of the baths (11, 12, 13, 14, 15) so as to prevent any possibility of reflux.
