Problem
DESIGN OBJECTIVE
Roller Transport Reversal Processor (12-inch)
(PAR-214)
A requirement exists for a versatile photographic processor
capable of handling both sheets and continuous webs of photographic material
and adaptable to processor yielding either standard negative or reversal
images. Interchange between processes should be easily made.
Proposal
It is proposed to use elements of existing self-threading
equipment in a new configuration to incorporate a reversal processing
cycle and the necessary valves, switches and controls for easy interchange
between cycles.
The characteristics of the proposed processor are concerned
in the attached Spec No. 203, which includes a typical layout for such a
machine.
It should be recognized that as with other RT Processors
some of the thinner base materials may require a pilot tab at the leading
edge in order to be self-threading.

Specification
for
Roller Transport Reversal Processor (12-inch)
Mission: Build a versatile, self-threading photographic processor
capable of processing both sheets and continuous strips
of film to either standard negative or reversal images.
Changes from one process to the other accomplished with a
minimum of operator effort.
Processing
Method:
Roller transport conveyance through deep tanks. Agitation
accomplished by action of conveying rollers.
Material
Capabilities: Cut Sheet:
Minimum - !t x 5 inches
maximum -11x14 inches
Note: Cut sheet films roust be packaged and shipped in
out sheet form. Not cut from roll stock.
Continuous Strip:

Maximum - 92-inches
Material: Certain types of black and white aerial and
commercial films. aek and white treated
paper base materials.
Note: It should be recognized that with roller
transport equipment; some of the thinner base
materials may require a pilot tab at the lead-
ing edge in order to be self-threading.
