E. = 5.25 no silver was retained, which verifies the data illustrated in Figs. 4 and 5, and (c) there was very little variation in the quantity of silver retained after fixing for times longer than four times the time to clear. The curves in Fig. 9 illustrate the results of similar experiments made with Eastman Motion Picture Release Positive Film, Type 1301.

With the Release Positive Film, Type 1301, the quantity of residual silver increased somewhat after extended times of fixing (for example, from 2 to 10 times the apparent time to clear) but no such increase occurred with the Super-^Y^ Negative Film, for similar multiples of the apparent time to clear.
