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.
In order to make these enlargements the amateur must develop his film either in whole or in part. One way is to make the first shot and the last shot on a roll of film the ones to be used for enlargement. It is then a simple matter to clip off a few frames in the darkroom. If you then send the balance of the roll to a processing station, be sure to indicate to them what you have done.
The following formula, used by Mr. Siegel, gives an extremely fine grained negative:
Water 16 ozs.
Pyro 17 grs.
Glycin 70 grs.
Sodium Sulphite
(Anhydrous) . . .230 grs.
Sodium Carbonate
(Anhydrous) . . .230 grs. This is a tray developer and the time of development is 20 minutes at 65 degrees F. Since artificial, cold drying cuts down the grain, an electric fan should be used. After drying, the negatives are enlarged in the same manner as still negatives.
