Abstract
Imaging apparatus of the kind in which successive image portions of a length of strip material are sequentially imaged and developed, features a development device adapted to provide continuous development periods of equal duration for all image portions, regardless of intermittent operation of said apparatus. One disclosed embodiment features guide means sequentially movable at the strip-feed rate between a first position, constraining all strip portions that are within the development zone in a developing relation, and a second position wherein all such strip portions are released from the developing relation.
