Motion-Picture Film Processing System for Guided Missile Research

John P. Delangre

Certain design features of eleven film processors and auxiliary equipment recently installed at the Patrick Air Force Base Motion Picture Laboratory are discussed. The processors are of modular construction. Major changes in the processing schedule can be made by rearrangement of the modular tank units. The film-drive system, type of construction and materials selected for various components are described. The overall system includes a simplified liquid-level control system with a siphon break and chemical system, located on a separate floor, for preparation and handling of processing solutions.
