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.

A Sendiometer Tablet — Ives and Crahtree 743 made on the printer will serve as a guide in assembling the required tablet. A definite technique must be followed in order to obtain the required development, as will be described below. o o 1 > 1 o 1 ¥ \ F i A, B, C, D, As B^ Cg Dg m. SHORT DEVELOPMENT CORRECT DEVELOPMENT LONG DEVELOPMENT o o A B C D TABLET Fig. 2. Experimental A series of flash exposures should be made on positive film about two feet of film being run at each exposure step on the printer. During this procedure it is necessary to maintain the line voltage constant. All of the strips should be developed simultaneously. The time of development which gives the relationship stated above with Eastman motion picture positive film is 33^ minutes at 65°F. in the Eastman MQ developer (Formula D-16) diluted with an equal volume of water. The rack should be moved continuously throughout development. This can be insured by causing the top of the rack to describe a rectangular path under the surface of the developer and by lifting the rack one-half way out of the tank once each minute after the first minute of development.^ The set of flash exposures resulting will serve as a rough measure of the relative exposure given by the printer steps, and a casual examination will reveal any gross irregularities, if not already noticed,
