Polydol

Pardon me gentlemen and ladies for instigating a new thread for the purpose of having it show up under today's posts. I don't believe in hogging sites by opening up new threads willy-nilly. Navigating through proper site procedure is yet unfamiliar on this XP machine, if that makes any difference. I use XP because it's all I need in my printing business.
Anyway, there was a discussion that I can no longer find, just today about a guy wanting to drag a bottle of Rodinal and a bunch of Dektol powder around in a suitcase. Brought to mind a developer called Polydol, which was only irregularly stocked when I started buying darkroom chemicals in 1971. So I have no actual experience with it. But if it was a dual-purpose developer as I believe, then could it's negative grain be any worse than Rodinal? And if so, then what kind of a job did it do on prints? Presumably the common papers would have been Velox, Medalist, or Kodabromide. How did Polydol do on all these materials, is what interests me.

Do you still have any more Polydol? I'm interested!

Here is a thread that might be of interest: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/polydol-proprietary-formula.157216/

If you have difficulty searching the site try searching from google and finding the photrio links from there.

Polydol, to my recollection, was not used as a dual purpose film and paper developer.
