Some Observations on Latent Image Stability of Motion Picture Film

The observations reported are the result of an investigation to determine the effect of a delay between the exposure and development of modern motion picture films. The stability of the latent image in terms of speed, gradation, graininess, and color response has been studied. — In general, a definite speed increase was noted on negative emulsions, a decrease on positive emulsions. There were also changes in gradation and graininess. The detailed findings which vary considerably with the individual emulsion type are given, followed by a general discussion and interpretation of the results. A brief review of the literature is included.
