Abstract
A photographic printing and developing apparatus includes a turnout device for separating a transfer path, along which sheets of printed paper are conveyed from a printing station to a development station, into a main transfer path and a branch transfer path. A joining device joins the branch transfer path to the main transfer path at a position downstream of the separating position. The turnout device selectively transfers sheets of printed paper of a given size to the branch transfer path.
