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.

1949 SPRAY PROCESSING 677 IV. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS Table II shows the rates of loss of Elon and hydroquinone in grams per hour from each system after the figures have been adjusted to relate to standardized conditions of initial volume and developingagent concentration. The standard volumes are taken as 7.0 and 130 liters and the rates are adjusted (to 2.0 grams Elon, 5.0 grams hydroquinone, arid 1.72 grams Elon, 3.30 grams hydroquinone) on the assumption that they should be proportional to the initial concentration, the pR being constant.
