And here's one more more test, please, please: I have a theory (made up
in my mind from little more than a hunch, but what's wrong with a hunch
anyway?) that the TF responds to double coating more than the WF, which
could equalize them ... and since the TF is much less trouble, would
therefore be BETTER, except with an extremely contrasty negative.

But there is SOME REASONING behind the hunch:

1. Students like to compare double and single coating TF for their
variables assignment at school.(What could be easier?) With MANY papers
the difference (added density) is striking.

2. I've never heard of anyone double coating the WF, from which I GUESS
(wrongly perhaps) that it's of no value.
