For satisfactory properties, final moisture should fall in shaded area.

However, a few general conclusions do seem to be warranted and may be helpful to others who may wish to construct this type of equipment. Effect of Temperature on Drying Time With any constant velocity of drying air up to 6,000 fpm, raising the air temperature from 125 to 150 F will reduce the required drying time about 50%. By raising the temperature from 150 to 200 F, the reduction in required drying time will be between 30% and 50%. These data are derived not only from that shown in Figs. 5 and 6, but also from experiments on a variety of other types of films. It was noted, and the two examples given are typical, that for nearly all positive films the reduction in required drying time by 94 February 1953 Journal of the SMPTE Vol. 60
