## Description

The largest of Paterson's five measuring graduates, moulded in transparent polystyrene and calibrated in metric, Imperial and US scales. It is the size to reach for when a single working volume runs close to a litre — diluting working solution from a concentrate, or mixing one bath at a time for a long processing session.

Paterson uses the same cylindrical laboratory form across the range, so the markings are uniform and widely separated and the liquid level stays easy to read; the polystyrene is resistant to most photographic chemicals. Three scales are moulded in, so a formula written in millilitres or in ounces can be followed without converting. For AGO Film Processor users, one fill covers the volumes on AGO's own minimum-chemistry chart for rotary (horizontal) processing — 950 ml for an eight-reel Paterson PTP118 and 650 ml for a five-reel PTP117 — both with room to spare. Those are AGO's rotary minimums, not the capacity of the tanks themselves; if you develop without an AGO, go by your tank's own rated capacity. This is a measuring and mixing vessel rather than a storage container, so decant anything you intend to keep into a proper storage bottle. Rinse and dry it after each session, and keep boiling water and dishwashers away from it.

## Questions

- **How do I choose negative sleeves?** For 135 film the standard page holds 7 strips of 6 frames; for 120, pages hold 3-4 strips. For long-term storage choose acid-free material that passes the Photographic Activity Test (PAT).
- **What size trays do I need?** Use trays one size larger than your paper, and plan on 3-4: developer, stop bath, fixer, and a holding/wash tray.
- **How should negatives and prints be stored?** Aim for a dark, stable environment around 20°C and 30-50% relative humidity, avoiding rapid temperature and humidity swings.
