Abstract
A loading apparatus for photographic film which is used in conjunction with a camera that may be booth mounted. The apparatus includes a platform which is rotatably linked to a base, such as the booth structure or the floor of the booth. The platform includes a surface and a multiplicity of holders for film containers or cartridges which are located in side-by-side configuration. The platform is turned or rotated relative to the base member and is used in conjunction with an elevator mechanism for removing the film containers from the surface of the platform, to the vicinity of a portion of the camera for exposure, and back to the platform when the film has been exposed.
