Rapid Processing of Motion-Picture Film by the Application of Viscous Coatings: Part I: Viscous-Layer Processing of Motion-Picture Film
A method has been developed for the rapid processing of motion-picture film by the application of thin coatings of viscous chemical solutions. The chemical treatments are carried out in an atmosphere saturated with water vapor at an elevated temperature. The physical and photographic quality of black-and-white positive film processed by this method is equal to that obtained from conventional processing. The chemical solutions used for these treatments maintain their properties over extended periods of storage under normal conditions. The usual problems of chemical control are eliminated, thus permitting automatic operation of the processing system.
