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 SYNTHETIC COLOR-FORMING BINDERS 471 time, with no other compensating change, throws the contrast relations of the three layers into incorrect balance. Since different developing machines do not give identical results, some adjustments may be needed to obtain a balanced development. In general, the composition of processing solutions, particularly the developer, must be maintained to closer tolerances than are allowable in black-and-white photography. It is imperative that replenishment be based on accurate analytical techniques. It is recommended that the developer be replenished continuously, though the other solutions, which have wider tolerances, may receive batch wise additions of re TABLE II.

Analytical techniques are available, but their description is outside the scope of this paper. Processing Machine Design Figure 9 illustrates a form of continuous developing machine for Type 275 Color Film. The sketch is schematic and is intended to suggest only the proper tank arrangement. As far as details of design and construction are concerned, this particular process does not necessitate any features different from good black-and-white practice. In fact, a black-and-white machine may be converted provided it has enough tanks to allow proper arrangement of solutions.
