Abstract: Apparatus for axially rotating and vertically oscillating a horizontally disposed cylindrical carrier for processing photographic material, in which a ring on one end of the carrier is supported on a rotatable eccentric and the other end of the carrier rests on rollers.The present invention relates to apparatus for oscillating a cylindrical carrier for the processing of photographic sheet or roll material.A device now marketed for processing photographic material in sheet or roll form consists of a cylindrical carrier having spaced cams located circumferentially on the outside of the carrier cylinder, or on its end caps, for oscillating the carrier about a fulcrum located in its longitudinal axis when the carrier is rotated reciprocally. Such a device is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,688,997 issued June 13, 1972, in the name of Simon Ratowsky assignor to Monrick Holdings Limited. A device for reciprocating such a carrier is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,735,961 issued May 29, 1973, in the name of Gordon G.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the processing of photographic material in which the material is mounted arcuately in a tubular carrier which is horizontally disposed, charged in its lower portion with processing liquid, and rotated about its longitudinal axis while at the same time being oscillated in the direction of that axis. In the apparatus the carrier rests on a base with means on the carrier and on the base interengagable to oscillate the carrier when it is rotated.
