Additional Information for Photographic Developing and Finishing Equipment Additional Information for Photographic Developing and Finishing Equipment

NATO Supply Class 6740 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 67, which is dedicated to Photographic Equipment.

NATO Supply Class 6740 specifically focuses on Photographic Developing and Finishing Equipment. This class includes various equipment and supplies used in the development and finishing processes of photographs.

Some examples of equipment that fall under this class include:

1. Photographic film processors: These are machines used to develop photographic film by applying chemicals and controlling temperature and timing.

2. Photographic paper processors: These machines are used to develop photographic prints on paper, similar to film processors but designed for paper prints.

3. Photographic enlargers: These devices are used to project and enlarge photographic negatives onto light-sensitive paper for printing.

4. Photographic drying cabinets: These cabinets are used to dry developed film or prints in a controlled environment, preventing dust or other contaminants from affecting the final result.

5. Photographic film and print washers: These machines are used to wash developed film or prints to remove residual chemicals and ensure proper archival quality.

6. Photographic film and print dryers: These devices are used to dry washed film or prints quickly and efficiently, ensuring they are ready for further processing or storage.

It's important to note that this classification is specific to NATO's supply system and is used for procurement and inventory management purposes within NATO member countries.
