Abstract
An automatic photographic paper cutter includes a drive system which drives a strip of photographic paper to a knife assembly. The drive mechanism applies a driving force along only one edge of the photographic paper strip, so that the operator of the paper cutter has an essentially unobstructed view of the prints on the photographic paper strip. A paper supply, which includes a spring loaded bale arm assembly, a pinch roller drive assembly, a brake, a motor and clutch, two loop sensors, and a U-shaped wire form guide supplies the photographic paper strip from a roll of photographic paper to the drive mechanism under essentially zero drag conditions.
