ABSTRACT Apparatus for processing a photographic film assemblage of the type which includes a film cassette containing therein a roll of 35 mm transparency film is disclosed. The apparatus includes a lighttight housing having a loading door which is pivotally mounted for movement between open and closed positions. The housing is constructed to receive a film processing kit which comprises a housing of two sections movable between open and closed positions, a roller having a length of flexible sheet material wound thereupon, a container of processing liquid, and a dispenser. The apparatus also includes structure for supporting a film cassette containing a roll of exposed film, and a take-up roller which receives the free ends of the sheet material and the film to wind in superposition onto the take-up roller. Mounted along one side of the housing of the apparatus is a gearbox containing a power transmission system including a plurality of gears, clutches and drives. One of the drives is adapted to drive the take-up roller during a processing operation while the drive is disconnected from the film spool and the roller of the sheet material. Conversely, two of the drives are adapted to drive the film spool and sheet material roller during a post processing operation while allowing the take-up roller to freewheel. The apparatus can be operated easily and with good results by an amateur photographer.
