We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

24 BATES AND RUNYAN July B. Testing of Solution Mixes The recommended tests for solution mixes are shown in Table IX. Considerable attention should be paid to pretesting solution mixes before they are placed on the machine. Unless errors of solution mixing or of previously unobserved chemical differences are detected at this point, quality of machine output will suffer. C. Testing During Machine Operation The tests indicated in Table X should be made at consistent intervals to provide a constant flow of information to the machine control chemist. In order to make correct decisions when photographic tests indicate trends away from normal, the control chemist should have at hand complete records of temperature and pH variations of all solutions as well as analysis of developers. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors wish to acknowledge with thanks the assistance of Mrs. A. Reed and Mr. J. Kowalak in this work. The co-operation of Mr. A. Brunner in supplying analytical data has been very helpful. REFERENCES (1) M. H. Sweet, "Densitometry of modern reversible color film," J. Soc. Mot. Pict. Eng., vol. 44, pp. 419-436; June, 1945.
