Abstract

Processing formulae and methods for 16-mm gun camera and combat films have been set up for military use. They are designed to operate under all conditions of temperature found in the field and on all types of Navy processing equipment including buckets, rack and tanks, Smith-type outfits and continuous processing machines of the Houston type. Instructions for development to either a negative or a reversal image are included. This work has led to procurement of standardized 16-mm Universal films of speed index 50 and 100 which can be processed either to negative in a negative developer or to reversal in a single standard set of reversal formulae. — The reversal processing formulae will give usable quality on all 16-mm Universal films as well as on most 16-mm reversible films made by different manufacturers. One formula modification is required for some films (an addition to the first developer). Either a fogging redeveloper (sulfide) or “re-exposure” followed by a second MQ developer is used to develop the reversal (positive) image depending upon the equipment used. It is believed that these Universal films and standardized processes will do much towards removing the confusion heretofore encountered by widespread military activities using 16-mm films.
