A manifold unit for extracting water from a photographic film strip. The manifold unit comprises a base wall lying along a plane transversely intercepting the broad face of the curved film strip, a number of elongated members extending from the base wall towards the broad face of the film strip and spaced apart to define air conduits therebetween, the elongated members having terminal surfaces adjacent to the film strip and forming an acute angle with the film strip path such that the trailing edge of the terminal surface is closest to the film strip, air pressure conduit in communication with some of the air conduits and air suction conduit in communication with other of the air conduits.
