When I ran a one hour lab I was told that most "operators" were women
because they were statistically much less prone to color blindness. My
color acuity is very good but some of the guys I knew in the bix were
very color blind. Blame it on the "Y" chromosome.

Hi,
I worked one summer in a hugh print factory in 1965. I did
pick up work, helped mix the hypo in a vat the size of large
hot tub. At that time it was mostly color prints and the operators
were all women.

I'm curious about how the framing, focus, exposure time, and contrast control (if any) was handled?
All automated, or was an operator involved?
Thank you,
