I remember Rodinal, which is still available. I also remember varying the basic formulas found in my Chemical Rubber Handbook. (35th Edition) Do they still put photo processing formulas in the newer editions. -- Peter |

By, "ordinary people" I meant people working on their own, and not people who were part of huge corporations who dedicate a reasonable percentage of their income to research laboratories. To be sure, many of these people were extraordinary thinkers....... |
