Thanks Richard. I did not know about the destructive
effects of
benzotriazole. 8 minutes of see-sawing in the dark is a
pain, but I did it
60 years ago, and can (I hope) do it again.

The first film I ever developed was done this way. It
was the old Verichrome, an orthochromatic film. I had a
Kodak "darkroom in a box" which had three little trays, a
couple of film clips, a ruby lamp some other stuff and a few
Kodak Tri-Chem Paks. I worked under the ruby lamp. I can
still see the film coming up in my mind to this day even
though this was more than sixty years ago. The thrill has
never left me. The package also contained a little package
of Velox and I think a small printing frame. I made prints
of the negatives. I am pretty sure it was 127 film so the
negatives and prints were pretty small. The curious thing is
that I have no memory of the subject matter.
