Jigs made film testing easier. Commercial ones meant that those without skills or machine shops could have easy systematic emulsion testing in their lab. The Cine-pro company also had some of the best stainless trays ever made. None of it was cheap … prices were on the order of a few days pay for the average lab worker.

what motivates
the maker isnt always known… usually it is reaction … either to a known, but as likely to an unknown, even a rejection.

prints on a drum dryer. The other was not to condition paper for more 
then thirty minutes. Any left over paper was used for test prints. — dye transfer

Other notions collected this week

Early reference made to Three-color methods and processes with special detail about Jos-Pe and Pinatype.

I’ve been going through notes on matrix making along with tanning methods: why developer replaced bleach.

finding the person behind the process leads to much more information about the process. These two people were the keys to Kodak’s emulsion coating discoveries. Nadeau and Starck are on many patents that would be key to making matrix film or Flexichrome emulsions.

While digging into the past there is the challenge of staying focused, limiting attention, and missing serendipitous materials such as:
