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.

Sodium Thiocyanate 2 2.4 Sodium Hydroxide 1.1 Water to make 1 liter 1.0 liter Basic replenishment rate — 23 cc./ft. 35-mm film obtained by increased or decreased amounts of first development vary slightly from film to film but generally increases of first development show up as reduced magenta density in the balance. TABLE II SHORT STOP REPLENISHMENT No. 859 Short Stop No. 858 Short Stop (Replenisher for No. 859) Glacial Acetic Acid Sodium Acetate Water to make 5cc. 30 grams 1 liter 10 cc. 20 grams 1 liter pH fresh 5.20-5.30 pH fresh 4.70-4.80 Basic replenishment rate — 24 cc./ft. 35-mm film This solution is replenished at a rate necessary to maintain a pH of 5.0 to 5.5. The volume of replenisher is great enough to provide sufficient solution change to prevent accumulation of excessive developer solution. If the short stop pH is maintained at a higher pH than 5.5, increased hardening will result from the No. 901 hardener, but reduced short stopping action and scumming will be obtained. A pH lower than 5.0 produces less hardening by the No. 901 hardener and a pH lower than 4.5 may give difficulty with film blistering.
