Abstract
Apparatus for processing photographically exposed premounted transparency frames so as to produce visible images in the frames. The apparatus includes a laminating station at which a section of sheet material having a coating of processing liquid thereon is laminated to an exposed premounted transparency frame of the self-developing type. The sheet material including the resulting laminate is then advanced toward a stripping station where, after the image has been developed, the coated section of the sheet material is stripped from the frame as the latter is simultaneously directed to a station whereat it may be recovered by the operator of the apparatus. The apparatus also provides for rewinding uncoated sheet material upon a supply reel after each processing operation thus minimizing the amount of sheet material used in the processing of the premounted transparency frames.
