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.

side of the film is on the outside and the polished side on the inside in contact tvith the metal spiral!
When the film is in place, secure the outer end by means of a film clip. Now, grasping the reel by the cross bar in the center, remove the reel full of film from the support. Take it to the table where the tanks are arranged. Place the reel full of film in the developer, lowering it gently into the solution. Start the timing clock and then raise and lower the rack a few times in the developer, in order to remove all air bubbles. Do this as rapidly as possible without causing any splashing or bubble formation. Continue this for perhaps thirty seconds, then throughout the course of development give the rack a short lift every thirty or forty-five seconds.
When development is complete, that is when the timer alarm rings, remove the film, rinse it in the stop bath for perhaps ten seconds, then place it in the fixing bath where it remains for twenty minutes. At the end of this time, turn on the white lights. Pour out the stop bath and use tray No. 3 for washing. Place the film in this tank and rinse four times. Place the tank beneath the faucet and allow a small stream of water to run into the tank for a half hour, the overflow running off through the drain.
At the end of a half hour, release the film ends from the rack, raise the rack from the water, place the wire screen which comes with the tanks upon the top of the film. Now holding the screen and rack together with the hands, quickly reverse the whole and replace in the water. Lift the rack from the tank. It will come up leaving the film loosely coiled upon the screen. The rack is shaken to remove any surplus water and hung up to dry. The screen bearing the film is now removed from the tank and gently shaken to remove surplus water. The outer end of the film is attached to the drying rack. This rack is rotated, the film being wound around it, between the pins upon the cross bars. The film is attached to the rack by means of the spring film clips. When the film is all on the rack, the second end is secured as the first one was and the rack is rapidly rotated a few seconds to throw off any surplus water. The rack is now hung up to dry, its
