Film Developing: Ratio 1:14 20ml developer 280 ml water, per film.

lm. 300 ml of working solution (40/560 2 films 60/840 3 films). Always put film in bottom of tank and a blank on
the top when developing a single film in a double tank. Check temperature of water before adding developer. Developing time is crucial:18 mins. @ 20 deg.,17 @ 21, 16 @ 22,15 @ 23,
14@ 24 Do not have the water too hot as this will melt the emulsion of the film. Never develop a film for less than 7 minutes .Start timing as soon as the developer is in the tank.
Agitate for first minute then ten times every minute after until time is up. Empty developer down sink. Wash with cold water 3 to 4 changes of water (do not use hot water). Fill the
tank with fix make sure films are covered (do not measure as this will contaminate the measuring jugs). Agitate for one minute and leave to stand for 10 mins. Put fix back into bottle
using the funnel. Wash with cold water 4 changes of water, 20 agitations each change 80 agitations in all. Remove films from tank - dry shiny side only with plenty kitchen roll.
Hang to dry keep films from dust and dirt. Cut into 6 and place in negative bags.
