The rollers are positioned to define a longitudinally extending gap which is substantially parallel with the leading edge of the film unit located in the exposure position. Film cassette structure is provided for maintaining the leading edge of the film unit substantially parallel to the longitudinally extending roller pair formed gap as the film unit is advanced toward and enters the roller-formed gap.
