A System of High-Speed, High-Temperature, Reversal Processing

Lester E. Bernd

A new 16mm processing machine accomplishing a 48-sec reversal processing cycle is described. This machine was designed and engineered for the Delaware Steeplechase and Race Assn. by the EDL Co. of Gary, Ind. To the best of the author's knowledge, it is the first spray-type processor designed particularly for high-temperature reversal processing. This paper also relates the history of high-speed reversal processing as done by the Delaware Steeplechase and Race Assn.; gives the reasons why thoroughbred racing requires film records to be processed rapidly, and traces the progress from 1945 to the present.
