2. A method of rapidly spreading a viscous photographic liquid in a continuous uniform layer within a photographic film unit comprising a pair of sheets secured in face-to-face relation at their lateral edges and at their trailing end by a binding element of an essentially fluid impermeable sheet material adhered around and to the lateral and trailing end margins of said sheets, and said method comprising:

  • injecting a mass of viscous liquid processing composition between the leading end portions of said sheets;

    progressively applying compressive pressure to a transverse region of said sheets extending substantially from side-to-side thereof and located behind said mass of liquid to advance said mass between said sheets toward the trailing ends thereof to spread said liquid in a layer between said sheets and force gas between said sheets ahead of said mass toward said trailing ends;

    discharging said gas from between said sheets at said trailing ends thereof while directing said gas between said trailing end margin of one of said sheets and said binding element adhered thereto at regions of said binding element in which the latter is not adhered to said one sheet;

    anD as said mass of liquid approaches said trailing edges of said sheets compressing said binding element against said one sheet to prevent escape of said liquid from between said one sheet and said binding element.
