Yes, that’s what I remember, too, but I know that I generally used at least
*two* pinches. :-)
I recall that when I mixed the developing agent(s) into solution there would be
a slight brownish colour that would then go clear in a matter of seconds. I
can’t be sure which developer, but it was a two-parter.

It's not very precise so I imagine the exact amount is of little consequence
but the amount of sulfite recommended is a "pinch".

When mixing the formula from scratch its probably a good idea to boil the
water first to drive off dissolved air to reduce the amount of oxidation of the

I never had a problem if I first added at little bit of sulphite to the water
before adding the Metol. I don’t remember how much. Maybe a teaspoon or so. The
sulphite was supposed to prevent oxidation. The resulting Metol solution would
have no discernible tint. The rest of the sulphite could then be added.
