MAKING A FADEOUT BY AFTER TREATMENT 41 of bathing, as shown by the curve in Figure 5. In order to obtain, on each frame, a density which is directly proportional to the distance from the end of the fade it was necessary to vary the time of treatment throughout the length of the fade in a manner which is functionally related to the exponential rate of growth of density with time of treatment. A fadeout of this type, the curve of which is shown at A in Figure 6, was made by timing the dye treatment according to the indications of the curve in Figure 5, to give a constant rate of increase in density along the length.

CRANK AND CONNECTING ROO MECHANISM. Curve B in Figure 6 shows the densities produced by leading the film at a constant rate into the dye solution, a procedure which, as might be expected, gives very poor results. Curve C in Figure 6 shows the densities which resulted from times of treatment which could be given by a simple crank and connecting rod mechanism. This fade-out was found quite satisfactory. Methods of Handling the Film When Making Fades. Of the numerous ways of causing a varying degree of chemical treatment from one end of the fade to the other, the simplest is to Vary the time of treatment.
