66
Q

This moves the film through the
processor through a series
of rollers

A

Transport system

67
Q

What are the different parts of the transport system?

A

Roller, Transport racks, drive motor

68
Q

What are the two subsystems of the transport system?

A

Turn-around system

Cross-over system

69
Q

Difference between turn-over and cross-over systems?

A
