(1) A feed reel — where the film to be developed is placed on the feed hub of the machine. {2) An " elevator" — where the length of the film loop between the feed reel and the developing tank is permitted to diminish when the feed reel is stopped for the purpose of putting on the next roll of film, the speed of the machine proper remaining constant so that developing time may remain constant. The length of the loop of film in the elevator decreases when the feed reel is stopped for reloading; it increases a predetermined amount at a predetermined rate when the feed reel is permitted to rotate again after loading, and runs at constant speed with the loop length unchanged after the predetermined loop length has been attained.
