It's curious that this is the same formula as published in Anchell & Troop, except that
theirs calls for only 2g's of metol rather than Jackson's 5g's. I wonder what happens
from doubling the metol and leaving all else unchanged? Will it just develop more
aggressively? Act more solvently on thegrains? Was Jackson's formulated for higher
dilutions maybe?

With all the talk about what goes into D-76, I knew I had a recipe

This is taken from C.I. Jacobson's Developing, By Focal Press, 16th
Edition 1966.
Metol 5gm
Sodium Sulphite anhyd 100gm
Hydroquinone 5gm
Borax 2gm
or
Kodalk 2gm
Water 1000cc
It is actually a great analog reference I stumbled upon while
junktiquing years ago. I also have a recipe for a uranium-based
developer somewhere to, from an old 1918 Photogravure Manual.
Happy Holiday!
