Abstract
A continuous processor for exposed webs of photographic paper has several tanks and a system of hoses which connect the outlets in the lower portions with the inlets in the upper portions of the tanks. The liquid developer is circulated by a pump and is heated by a heater before it reaches the inlets. The pressure of liquid in the system of hoses is monitored by two pressure responsive switches which cause a control unit to arrest the motor of the pump and to deactivate the heater when the pressure drops below or rises above a range of acceptable pressures. The pressure drops in response to leakage of developer, and the pressure rises in response to clogging of a filter which is installed in the system of hoses between the heater and the inlets of the tanks.
