Abstract
A process and apparatus for processing strips of a photographic tape material whose surface is at least partially coated with, for example, an emulsion. In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus includes means for determining the position of the side of the strip with the coated surface. In a first case, in which the side with the coated surface is in a desired position, a switch guides the unmodified strip onward for further processing. In a second case, in which the side with the coated surface is not in the desired position, the switch automatically guides the strip into a turning device before the strip is further processed.
