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.

Fine-Grain Developers — Carlton and Crahtree 419 Eloii and borax produce about an equal effect, weight for weight, the former to decrease and the latter to increase the alkalinity of the developer. The data on the molecular weights of borax and Elon check the above results. Borax (mol. wt. = 381) is dibasic when neutralized by strong acids and is neutralized by one molecule of sulfuric acid. Elon crystallizes with one-half mole of sulfuric acid per molecule so that two molecular weights of crystallized Elon (mol. wt. = 172, total weight 344) are required to neutralize one mole of the borax. Consequently, borax and Elon neutralize each other in weight ratios of 381 :344, which substantiates the result obtained from a study of the alkalinities of the developer. In these terms the borax developer formula is simplified as it actually occurs in solution. The borax and Elon, used in equal concentration (2 grams of each per liter), practically neutralize each other so that the developing solution is essentially a solution of Elon base (monomethyl para-amino phenol) and hydroquinone in a 10% solution of sodium sulfite. The alkalinity of the developer can be increased by increasing the quantity of borax. Fig. 4 gives time-gamma curves for the regular formula with increasing concentrations of borax up to 20 grams per liter and shows graphically how the rate of development Figure 4.
