1933 US Dept of Commerce - "Comparison of Several Developers..." PDF

I’m not too sure how useful, to me at least, but very interesting. I love this kind of historical stuff. Thanks, Kino.
 
Thanks. I just read this morning about the 1930 advice to use a “single reducer” developer instead of “metal-hydroqinine” combination. In this paper it shows you get about a third stop more speed with the MQ developer, but if you add bromide you lose about a stop and a third.
 
Yeah, thanks for posting this. I too love this historic stuff. This is quite interesting.
 
Some forgotten info there.
Metol-hydroquinone can be replaced by p-aminophenol-hydroquinone
Sulfite-p-aminophenol deposits crystals of p-aminophenolate not sulfite , of interest with PaRodinal which slowly deposits crystals.
