The apparatus includes: a film-developing part for developing individual films while feeding each of the films accompanying a leader; a printing part for subjecting a photographic paper to an exposure; a paper-developing part for developing the photographic paper exposed; and a film-sorting mechanism disposed adjacent a terminating end of the film-developing part, for sorting the films by the kinds thereof.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 27, 1994 and granted February 22, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 27, 2014.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 27, 2016.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
