Bonjour Jim
Dorothée a de (très) beaux restes !
Merci Nicolas.
Development was rather bizzarre on these. You may send the men in white coats. I used Dektol, 1 gram / 100 ml ratio, agitation for 1 minute and let it stand for 44 more minutes un-disturbed. 65 degrees F so fairly cold.
I had one from about 1933 when I was in Medical School in the U.K. It had a proper hard-top roof. I cleaned out the pistons using medical instruments! It also had no brakes! However, I had to have a driving test for a license before leaving for Zimbabwe, (then, Rhodesia), for an internship. So I had brand new ones installed for the test.Dorothy is a 1930 Model A Ford Roadster. Someone has removed the rumble seat and installed a wooden box for farm duty. Many were done in WWII because you could get more gas ration for a pickup truck. I should mention that Dorothy has almost no brakes what-so-ever, so driving her is an adventure.
That, Jim is to bring out the shadows? Does it depend on the volume of the solution so it doesn't run out of power?

On the day of the test it was overcast with dark storm clouds. Anyway, as we drove off on the test, he told me to brake hard when he gave his special surprise signal for an "emergency stop". My test would depend on this. The signal was his clip board on the dash board. Well we were 10 miles outside town and he looked fed up and suddenly he said, let's go back and put his clipboard down on the dash. "Bang!" went his head on the windshield! He was all shook up but we stopped with just a little skidding, pretty well missing a ditch, well, almost!
"What on earth did you stop like that for! You have failed miserably! I'll drive back"
"No you won't!" I replied.
The last time I saw him he was walking back to town, no coat, utterly drenched and the next day when I sat in my seat on a 747 looking out the window at the overcast sky, I wasn't a bit guilty. Well, just a tad!

Hi Asher. I love a good car story. Too bad you couldn't take the Ford to Rhodesia. They would have thought it was a Rolls Royce there.
As to the Dektol..........I invented this method quite by accident one day when I ran out of Pyro and it has now worked perfectly 2 times. I call it Dekstall. Dektol of course is the nastiest of ultra strong print/paper developers. No fool would put film in it to soak for 3/4 of an hour. What's interesting about it is the grain character is just beautiful. Think about how grainy you would expect 1993 HP5 400 ASA film to be. Here is a 35mm film area crop out of one of the 5X7 scans, scanned at 800 dpi and totally uncorrected;
35mm film size grab from 5X7 neg to show grain
I could print these really large and they'd be lovely.

When I was a little fella, we had a sleigh made with two of those front bumpers for runners. Fastest sleigh around, but no brakes.
Jim, brakes are for sissy's (UK colloquialism) - all they do is use more fuel.
Dorthy is made to look lovely in your pictures, but I am concerned that your garage is full of nuclear waste!
