Abstract
A photographic printing apparatus includes a sorting apparatus comprising a plurality of receptacles for receiving negative films and prints which circulate in a closed loop path between a film loading station in close proximity to an exposure apparatus and a print loading station where prints, cut from a continuous web of photographic paper, are delivered. The receptacles are driven such that each receptacle related to a receptacle loaded with a specific negative film at the film loading station is positioned in the print loading station in time before a cluster of prints made from the specific negative film is delivered from the photographic printing apparatus.
