Abstract: A development station for an electrostatographic reproduction apparatus wherein pigmented marking particles from a particulate material mixture of pigmented marking particles and magnetic carrier particles are utilized to develop latent image charge patterns on a dielectric member. The development station has a housing adapted to be located adjacent to a dielectric member. The housing defines a reservoir for a particulate material mixture, and an opening facing such dielectric member. A mixer for mixing particulate material, a magnetic brush for applying pigmented marking particles from such particulate material mixture to a latent image charge pattern to develop such charge pattern, and a transport for transporting such particulate material from the mixer to the magnetic brush are located within the housing. A device is provided for collecting contaminating airborne particulate material contamination. The contamination collecting device includes an elongated tube, located externally of the housing.
