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.

Fig. 5. Developing and regeneration sections of vanadium processing machine. A carbon dioxide gas blanket was maintained over the developing-tank head on the experimental machine since there was a tendency for air to be sucked into the system. It is believed, however, that an improvement in design will eliminate this necessity and the slight oxidation that would occur could be balanced by electrolytic regeneration. Potential Applications At present, the only potential users of the vanadium system for processing motion-picture positive film are the large-scale laboratories that already have the facilities and skilled personnel necessary. The advantages of rapid development rate, effective speed increase, improved image tone, and high capacity of the vanadium development system are offset by the necessity of handling a corrosive solution, a noxious gas, and using special equipment. Further study and development will be necessary to determine the ultimate practicability of the vanadium system Rasch and Crabtree: Development by Vanadous Ion
