Abstract
Apparatus for processing an exposed roll of instant or self-developing type transparency film. The apparatus includes structure for supporting a film cassette containing an exposed roll of film, a spool having an elongate strip of sheet material wound thereupon, and a take-up reel which is adapted to receive an end of the exposed film and the sheet material and which is adapted to be rotated so as to wind the exposed film and the sheet material thereupon in superposed relation as a processing composition is being coated upon the sheet material so as to initiate the formation of visible images in the film. The apparatus also includes means for separating the film which is to be wound upon the take-up reel from its attachment to the film cassette's spool prior to stripping the sheet material from the film while simultaneously guiding the latter to the exterior of the apparatus.
