I have a copy that I would be willing to loan for a copying project if
one goes forward.  I don't use a copier and would have to do it on a
scanner, which would take forever and be less successful on the b&w
images.  But there are a few useful color images, which would not fare
well in a regular copier.  It's 88 pages plus the four cover pages,
which include useful material as well.  It includes a 210-item (!!)
list of references, plus an "appendix" of "recent" publications on the
subject, by the way.

I also have a copy of Kodak's _Infrared and Ultraviolet Photography_
(Sixth Printing, 1959).  It's much more basic and smaller (half-size,
48 pages + covers) and aimed somewhat more at pictorial use, as
opposed to forensic or scientific purposes.

And was it Kayo who mentioned sodium carbonate in the developer as a
possible cause of pinholes?  Looking through these Kodak booklets, I
note that D-11, D-19, D-52 (and also Selectol?), D-61a (and 61
replenisher), and D-72 all contain sodium carbonate; DK-50 and D-76 do
not; D-67 (used in reversal processing of IE is not included among
those for which formulae are given.  Developers like Microdol and
Rodinal and Diafine presumably would be much harder to pin down, since
I don't believe the formulas have ever been published.
