Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of development of photographic film or the like and apparatus therefor
IPC: G03D13/04
Filed: 1926-05-17
Abstract: 275,349. Stringer, H. B., and Stratton, A. May 17, 1926. Developing-apparatus for roll films.-A photographic roll-film or paper strip is developed &c. by winding it upon itself from one spool to another while maintained completely immersed in the developer &c. In the apparatus shown, the spools 2, 3 are detachably mounted in a tank 1, and either is adapted to be rotated by a handle 21 on a gear wheel 18 connected, as through a friction clutch comprising discs 22, 23 pressed together by a spring 24, to a shaft 13 carrying a disc 15 having projections 16 which engage re - cesses in the end of the spool and transmit the drive thereto. An intermediate gear wheel 19 may be provided to transmit the drive from one spool to the other. To connect the ends of the film &c. to either spool, this may be slotted as at 34 and surrounded by a sleeve 35 slotted at 36 along a generating line. With the slots 34, 36 in register the end of the film &c. is inserted in the slot 34, and the sleeve is rotated to grip the film &c. between the sleeve and the body 7. The film &c. is so wound that its sensitive surface faces outwards, and it is wound continuously back and forth from one spool to the other until developing, fixing &c. is complete. It is left slack between the spools before winding commences to compensate for the tautening which occurs as film accumulates on the wind-on spool. This tautening action is used on completion of the liquid treatments to squeeze out water from the film &c. A light-tight cover, held in position by clips, permits development in daylight and has a filler tube having a capped inlet and communicating with the tank. An outlet for the liquids may also be provided. In apparatus for treating narrow material, the axes of the spools may be in alignment, and guide rollers may be provided for guiding the film &c. between the spools.

A switch for controlling the circuit when changing the tap on a regulating transformer comprises a motor- or hand-driven shaft 1 having a crank 25 carrying a pair of rollers 2, 3 co-operating with a cylindrical bar 6. The bar is carried by an arm 9 freely pivoted on a shaft 7 so that on rotation of the shaft 1 the bar reciprocates to and fro as shown in Fig. 2. The bar 6 is connected by a tension spring 1] to a further bar 10 carried by an arm 18 fixed to the shaft 7 whereby on rotation of the shaft 1 through 180 degrees the arms 9, 18 move over-centre and a contact 14 carried by the bar 10 leaves a contact 13 and a contact 23 engages a contact 22. A pair of auxiliary contact arms 16, 21 freely pivoted on the shaft 7 and urged apart by a compression spring 15 are controlled by stops 17, 20 on the arm 18, so that after the contacts 13, 14 have separated the contact 16 engages contact 19 and connects the new tap stage through a resistance. The stop 20 then opens the contact 21 connecting the previous tape stage through the resistance and the switching action is completed upon closure of the contacts 22, 23 which shunt the resistance. The succeeding tap stages are con ected by further rotations of the shaft 1 through 180 degrees.
