Wallace Heaton's Processing Laboratories  1960

ILFORD LTD PHOTOFINISHING EQUIPMENT

Wallace Heaton's Blue Book 1960-1961 illustrates a high quality black and white laboratory. Colour work seems to passed onto Kodak and Ilford. An elderly automatic film processor (probably a Barker or a Hepworth) is shown as well as two Kenprinters. Most operations seem very labour intensive.  This is a good example of a finisher in a state of transition from hand methods to automated operation
