Glycin Developers

[larrydressler]

Hello A member of this board recently sent me an email asking for

glycin developer formulas from a 1940's photography book I have so I

decided to post some of them I have alot more so if you all want them

just let me know and I will look up more of them.

 

If the formating does not look good I am sorry but I cut and pasted

these from my Microsoft word documents that I keep.

SEASE DEVELOPERS

 

 

#1 #2 #3 #4 #5

 

P-PHENYLENEDIAMINE 10.00 10.00 10.00 10.00

10.00 grams

GLYCIN 0.0 1.00

1.00 6.00 12.00 grams

SODIUM SULFITE 90.00 90.00 90.00

90.00 90.00 grams

WATER TO MAKE 1.00 1.00 1.00

1.00 1.00 liter

 

 

To produce negatives of normal density, #3 requires 2 to 3 times

normal exposure, but on 35mm with a consinser enlarger you may try

normal exposure. Try 1 stop slower on all others except #2 this

formula will produce the finest grain of all 5 formulas.

Let me attach the Word document for you

Let me add something constructive/curious to the thread;

 

From- "What You Want to Know About Fiom Developers; Dr Edmund W. Lowe;1939--

 

Formula 14--- Glycin-Carbonate for Slow Tank Development

 

-Stock Solution-

 

Sulfite (Anhydrous)............15grm

 

Sodium Carbonate (Anhydrous)...60grm

 

Glycin.........................15grm

 

Water..........................2 liters

 

Dilute 6oz.s stock with 58oz.s water. Develope 35 to 60 minutes

at 65 degrees..... favored by those who like to put their film in the developer and forget about it for an hour or so. Little or no agitation is necessary after the film is first put in the tank, because the low sulfite content prevents the streaks and uneven development which are due to diffusion of silver bromide......
