APPARATUS FOR DEVELOPING LATENT ELECTROSTATIC IMAGES ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Powder cloud development apparatus for developing latent electrostatic images on an insulating member, such as a photoconductive layer, wherein a cloud of charged de- veloper particles is introduced into the development chamber through a first port in the chamber wall and air is intro- duced through a second port in the chamber wall opposite said first port. A baffle is positioned above the ports and below the surface of the insulator, the baffle extending between the opposed walls. A development electrode compris- ing a series of parallel wires, electrically biased in the development area, is connected at each end to a continuous loop drive mechanism, the upper plane of the grid wire being closely spaced from the insulator surface. The wire to wire spacing with respect to wire diameter is sufficiently large to allow the passage of toner therethrough. The portion of the grid which is not in the image area adjacent the insulator surface is movably directed in a manner whereby there is no interference with development. A stationary cleaning system, located without the development area, cleans the grid wires as the grid wires are directed therethrough. The drive mechanism may be connected to a variable speed device to allow optimization of the electrode speed. The advantages of the aforementioned system in- clude non-imaging of the grid wires since movement is in one direction and the grid effect is continually maintained since the grid wires are cleaned throughout the development cycle. -2-
