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.

Tank size, machine velocity, carry-over of liquid on the film, concentration values, and chemical reactions between film and solution have been shown to determine optimum replenishment formulas and rates. These controlling factors have been incorporated in equations, so that replenisher formulas and rates can be calculated readily when values of these factors are known. By means of this mathematical approach, it is believed that variation in film density and gamma caused by changes in processing solutions can be appreciably reduced, and that a savings in certain operating expenses can be attained.
