Abstract
A film magazine, which is adapted to receive a stack of self-processing film units, is provided with a shuttle that reciprocates between a pair of pressure rollers to release the respective film units one at a time for movement into an exposure position, to engage and thereby support the released film unit for exposure, and to cause the exposed film unit to be removed from the exposure position between the rollers to initiate its processing. The shuttle is recessed at its leading end, and is thinner than the film units such that, upon rotation of the rollers, the respective dimensions of the shuttle and the film units will cause the rollers to: (1) engage the shuttle to initiate reciprocation of the shuttle until the film unit enters between the rollers, (2) disengage the shuttle and engage the film unit to advance the film unit between the rollers, and (3) when the film unit has passed entirely through the rollers, reengage the shuttle to continue its reciprocation.
