<p>Drop-in cassettes or analogous receptacles for exposed photographic customer films are processed one after the other in a light-tight enclosure wherein successive receptacles are opened to permit removal of reels with convoluted films thereon so that the films can be withdrawn from the reels and spliced to each other end-to-end to form a continuous web which can be readily conveyed through a developing, printing or copying machine. Each receptacle carries information pertaining to the identity and/or other data concerning the respective customer, and such information is separated from the receptacles prior or during to opening and is attached to the respective films of the web. Alternatively, the information is read at the opening station, stored in a suitable storing device, and exposed onto or punched into the respective films of the web at the splicing station.</p> |
