A good formula is the following: — No. 1. Metol 70 gr. Metabisulphite of soda 30 gr. Bromide of potassium ... ... 15 gr. Distilled water 10 oz. No. 2. Carbonate of soda ... ... ... 1 oz. Distilled water 10 oz. For use mix in equal parts. METOL works best for lantern-slide Metol-Quinol. , -, . -, .,-, •, i purposes when combined with hydro- quinone, and a capital all-round developer can be made by taking 1 part of the mixed hydroquinone formula and mixing it with half its bulk of the mixed metol formula.

The colour produced with most plates is a pleasing warm black. Ortoi. ORTOL is also an excellent lantern-slide developer, giving great clearness and delicacy of image. The formula used by the writer is as fol- lows : — No. 1. Ortol , 70 gr. Metabisulphite of soda ... ... 40 gr. Distilled water ... 10 oz.
