Abstract
Film is developed in a processor by passing it through a container of development solution, then a container of a fixer solution, and then the film is passed through a wash container where it is washed with water before delivery to a dryer. As the film is transported from the developer container to the fixer container, and from the fixer container to the wash container, it travels through crossover assemblies having a roller that is rotatable in a trough of water so that the roller is constantly cleaned of developer or fix solutions. A water distributor system for delivering water to the crossover assemblies has a channel for water which has one end located to deliver water to the trough in the first crossover assembly and a second end located to deliver water to the trough of the second crossover assembly. Water is metered from a single conduit to the channel and separated into separate streams for delivery to the two troughs.
