Abstract
Apparatus for safely transporting a sheet of photographic material through a development or other processing station comprises means for concurrently circulating processing liquid in the form of a plurality of streams both downward onto the sheet and upward from an underlying plate, the latter streams supporting the sheet and providing for the formation of a liquid layer between the plate and the sheet which facilitates the unrestricted passage of the sheet along the processing path. The downwardly projected streams are angled in the direction of sheet travel to provide further impetus to the movement of the sheet.
