Summary

Slide 43 of 'A Look at Kodak Coburg Australia' showing a worker supervising the distribution of powdered chemicals from a large churning machine/hopper into a drum labeled 'Super Developer' in the Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd factory at Burnley.

This image is part of an album containing photographs (numbered 1 to 80) plus accompanying lecture notes for a slide presentation titled 'A Look At Kodak Coburg Australia', issued by the Photo Information Services Department at Kodak Australasia Pty Ltd, circa 1960s.

The Burnley building was located at 550-556 Swan Street Burnley and was purchased by Kodak in 1950 as the Abbotsford factory became too cramped. The building was previously the Barnes Honey Factory.

Both Kodak's black and white photo finishing laboratory and the Powder and Solution Department (later known as the Photochemical Department) operated out of these premises until1974. The Photochemical Department was transferred to the Coburg factory in 1974, while the photo finishing laboratory closed down at this time because a black and white processing and developing service was no longer provided by Kodak after Burnley was vacated.
