Ultrarapid Drying of Motion Picture Film by Means of Turbulent Air
The problem of rapid processing of motion picture film has received considerable attention in the last decade. Although considerable study has been made of various methods to increase the speed of developing, fixing and washing, relatively little effort has been expended to improve the speed of drying. A description is herewith given of a number of different equipments which were designed after a theoretical investigation had been made of the drying problem. These equipments permit the ultrarapid drying of motion picture film in a convenient manner with extremely low distortion. One application of these units has been incorporated in the Paramount Theater-Television Units for the rapid processing of 35-mm film.
