A slight decrease in the hardening properties was obtained with the samples one week old which were taken before revival after processing 450 feet of film. The hardening properties of the 3 per cent chrome alum bath decreased more rapidly on exhaustion with D-76 at 70°F. (Fig. 11) than those of the 3 per cent bath exhausted with D-16 at 70°F.

Effect of exhaustion with acid revival on the hardening properties of a plain 3 per cent chrome alum stop bath (D-16 developer, 70 °F.). per gallon had been processed by reviving with acid every 100 feet, but on further exhaustion the hardening action decreased rapidly and the baths could not be satisfactorily revived by the addition of acid. With D-16 at 85°F., the hardening properties of the 2 per cent bath during exhaustion with revival were more uniform than when the bath was exhausted at 70°F. (Fig. 12). A maximum degree of hardening was maintained until 600 feet of film per gallon had been treated. The film processed in the samples one week old taken after the second revival reticulated at a temperature of 90°F., indicating that too much acid had been added during revival.
