June, 1930] STOP BATHS AND FIXING BATHS 695 10 per cent of D-16 was added. Fixing bath No. I containing 10 per cent and 15 per cent developer sludged after storing one week at 70°F. and the life after storing two weeks decreased to about 4.5 per cent of D-16 or 75 feet per gallon, while with No. II only the bath containing 15 per cent developer sludged and the hardening life was decreased to 7.5 per cent of D-16 or 150 feet per gallon.
