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.

Oct. 1941] ABSTRACTS OF CONVENTION PAPERS 441 Iodide Analysis in an MQ Developer; R. M. EVANS, W. T. HANSON, JR., AND P. K. GLASOE, Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N. Y. A method is described for the analysis of iodide in a developer, involving precipitation of the halide with silver nitrate and oxidation of the iodide while it is in the form of solid silver iodide to iodate with chlorine water. The iodate is then determined polarographically. Quantities of iodide from 2.5 to 10 milligrams of potassium iodide were analyzed with an accuracy of 2 to 4 per cent. Thiocyanate in the developer interferes but it can be removed by boiling with strong sulfuric acid before precipitation. Using this method of analysis it was shown that an equilibrium amount of iodide is obtained in a developer. Curves are given showing the attainment of equilibrium for development of Eastman panchromatic negative motion picture film in Kodak D-76 and in D-16 developers, and Eastman panchromatic positive motion picture film in Kodak D-16 developer. The equilibrium value depends upon the emulsion, the developer, the developed density, and perhaps other variables which will be investigated more thoroughly.
