Abstract:

A processor for processing undeveloped photographic film discs carried on a rotatable spindle includes a conveyor for conveying the spindle intermittently along a generally horizontal conveyor path. The spindle has a follower magnet attached adjacent one end thereof and has an axial direction which is generally horizontal and perpendicular to the conveyor path. A plurality of stations for processing the film discs are spaced along the conveyor path, with a drive magnet rotatably mounted adjacent each station in spaced axial alignment with the follower magnet of the spindle when the spindle is positioned at that station. Operably connected to the drive magnet is a drive motor for rotating the drive magnet to cause the follower magnet, spindle and film discs mounted thereon to be rotated due to magnetic coupling of the drive magnet and the follower magnet.
