Abstract
Photographic material is processed in a sequence of stages by the application of solution to an upper surface thereof as the material is carried on endless belts beneath respective coated roller arrangements. Each roller arrangement is movably mounted in a slot so that the point along the stage at which the solution is applied to the photographic material can be varied, thereby to vary the time for which the material is subject to the processing treatment.
