Machine Development of Negative and Positive Motion Picture Film

A great deal has been written, during the past two or three years, on the subject of machine development, but the discussion and description of the various methods in use have been confined entirely to the machine development of positive film. There seems to be a strong feeling against the development of negative in any kind of machine and rule of thumb methods of developer manipulation are in force generally. There seems to be a lingering doubt about submitting a valuable negative to machine development, yet exhaustive series of experimental test runs have proved that, in both theory and practice, properly controlled mechanical development is the most satisfactory method.
