Exposing and developing apparatus for photographic composing device

Claim 1

An exposing and developing apparatus for a photographic composing device which includes a projector and means to direct a selected image into the exposing and developing device comprising a table, at least two pumping units carried by the table, a source of developing solutions for said pumping units, an elongated trough secured to the table along one margin thereof to receive developing solutions from the pumping stations, an elongated planar bottom portion in the trough, a source of photosensitive materials, means to transport the said photosensitive material across the trough bottom portion, at least a first and a second transparent block overlying the photosensitive material, said first block adapted to receive light coming from the projector therethrough, a bottom surface on said blocks spaced from and substantially parallel to the upper surface of the photosensitive material and spouts carried by the table to direct the developing solutions coming from the pumping units between the bottom surface of the blocks and the upper surface of the photosensitive material whereby the image projected upon the photosensitive material through the blocks may be processed into a permanent visible image.
