Temperature-Compensating Development Timer
The Compensating Development Timer will help take
the hit-and-miss out of timing the development of photographic film and
paper under off-nominal temperature conditions. By measuring the
temperature of the developing solution continually during development,
and adjusting the timer rate accordingly, correct development is assured
even as temperatures vary during development.
