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.

1950 REFERENCES 723 licate sensitometric strips at 2j/£-min intervals for about one hour in a single processing machine. The present illustration is concerned only with the blue integral densities of one specific step on each strip. The rational subgroups, in this experiment, are the groups consisting of the two strips processed at the same time. The density difference between two such strips (the "range" of duplicate strips) is taken as a measure of the variability within each subgroup. The lower graph in Fig. 14 shows this quantity for each of the 21 subgroups. The dotted line on this lower graph indicates a statistical control limit based on the average range. Within the duration of this experiment, all ranges of duplicate strips are within the control limit ; this is interpreted to mean that differences observed between duplicate strips processed together are due to nonassignable chance causes. This minimum random variation also provides a basis for calculating the control limits shown by dotted lines in the upper graph of Fig. 14. Here, average densities of each set of two strips are plotted. As long as these average densities are within the control limits, the variations observed in the result may be considered as random effects from unassignable causes. The upper graph shows, however, that in the test under discussion the variations extend beyond the control limits. This is interpreted to mean that the downward trend shown during the hour may have had non-random origin. Such a situation would justify a careful search for specific causes of trouble. REFERENCES 1.
