Special precautions are needed in the manual processing <strong>of</strong> industrial x-ray<br />

films in roll form. These are usually processed on the commercially available<br />

spiral stainless-steel reels. The space between the turns <strong>of</strong> film on such a reel<br />

is small, and loading must be done carefully lest the turns <strong>of</strong> film touch one<br />

another. The loaded reel should be placed in the developer so that the film is<br />

vertical--that is, the plane <strong>of</strong> the reel itself is horizontal. Agitation in the<br />

developer should not be so vigorous as to pull the edges <strong>of</strong> the film out <strong>of</strong> the<br />

spiral recesses in the reel. The reel must be carefully cleaned with a brush to<br />

remove any emulsion or dried chemicals that may collect within the filmretaining<br />

grooves.<br />
