Part II: A Machine for Rapid Processing of Black-and-White 16mm Films

Paul A. Hermle, Harold D. Lowry

A rapid simplified processing machine for 16mm black-and-white positive films employs thin coatings of viscous solutions for the developing and fixing treatments at a temperature of 125 F. The film is processed to a precontrolled density and contrast at an operating speed of 36 ft/min, and a dry-to-dry time of one minute. Packaged chemical solutions are used, metered to the film from a five-hour storage capacity within the machine. The only service connections required are electricity, hot water, and drainage.
