P roduct N ew s A llen n ow o fferin g AP-6 re w in d in g system The Allen Products Company is offering a motorised rew inding system for th e film m agazine of its AP-6 source document processor. Now, through use of a foot pedal, an operator can speed the rew inding process considerably, compared to hand rewinding, th u s allowing a significant increase in productivity. In addition, the m agazine system has an autom atic brake to catch the end of the film. Major ben efits of this system are achieved w here higher volumes of film are processed on a daily basis.
