A waste container is received in a photographic processing machine along
with a chemical supply container. The supply container is oriented at an
angle to horizontal. Ports are provided into the containers with an
associated snap cap oriented such that the neck extends vertically when
received in the processing machine. A shipping cassette system includes
two stacked upper and lower cassettes, each having a plurality of
vertical walls that laterally surround an interior volume. A processing
machine includes a cap opening bar and a mounting mechanism with a pivot
point aligning the bar with the caps of a chemical delivery container
assembly along a side of the caps opposite to the side along which the
hinges are aligned such that rotation of the cap opening bar about the
pivot point simultaneously opens the fluid supply ports by rotating the
caps about their hinges.
