B&W Formula- Found it!



Damn my archives are better than I thought. In case I stirred up interest
(ha ha) here's George's original post:

At the risk of overdoing a good thing I will proceed with my own reversal
formula.

                              Positive developer

      1. DEVELOP  20 min in D-76 with following addition:
          2 g. Sodium Thiocyanate
           52 g. Sodium carbonate (mono)
           3 g. Potassium bromide
__________________________________________________
       2. Wash    2 min.
__________________________________________________
       3. Bleach    3-4 min in following:
           10 cc Sulfuric acid per liter
            9 g. Potqassium dichromate
__________________________________________________
       4.  Clear  3min. in Sodium sulfite 40 g./liter
__________________________________________________
       5. Redevelop in Dektol with 4 g. Sodium sulfide added  5-7 min
__________________________________________________
       6. Wash 2 min and fix
__________________________________________________
NOTE: Use ASA 400 for Plus X

Please feel free to disseminate the formula as you see fit.
Notes:
1) Temperature is 68 deg. F
2) Quantities added are to 1 liter.
3) Sulfuric acid is listed as "concentrated". My recollection is battery acid
is about            16%. I always had acid in the lab anyway but now I buy it
at a lab supply house  (in Burbank, CA  "Tri-ess" Student Science Supply).
4) The addition of sulfIDE can be considered optional. With it you get a nice
sepia tone.
