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.

yellow monochrome, and coating with bromide gelatin emulsion; printing, development, and transformation to a yellow image by the process of fixing by a copper mordant, in a manner analogous to that above described, creates considerable complications and involves processes and operations such as the preparation and coating with bromide gelatin emulsion, which are alien to the usual processes adopted in film factories. The production of this third image intended to form the trichromatic trio, which alone can meet the exigencies of a complete colour rendering, represents the most arduous of all the problems facing colour cinematography by subtractive synthesis, and one can have no idea of the variety of processes that have been suggested and the number of patents taken out. It has been suggested to produce the third monochrome by transferring from a film prepared according to the Pinatipia process, or else by means of a photo-mechanical print, or by sticking two images, one bi-chromatic and one monochrome, together. But, without any wish to detract from the merits of so many inventive minds, I must conclude by repeating what I said at the beginning: « The only practical solution of colour cinematography for the present is to be sought in bi-chromatic and tri-chromatic accumulative synthesis and bi-chromatic subtractive synthesis.
