Abstract
Method and apparatus for handling photosensitive sheets in which the photosensitive sheets to be processed drop by force of gravity upon the opening of a cassette which held the sheets. The sheets thus dropped are delivered to a retaining position, which is shielded from light, at a speed higher than the normal conveyance speed in an automatic developing machine which subsequently processes the sheets. Thereafter, the sheets are delivered to the automatic developing machine from the retaining position. The difference is determined between the delivering speed and the conveyance speed in the automatic developing machine. The driving of the delivering device is suspended when the curvature of the photosensitive sheet is beyond the predetermined value as determined by the difference.
