And keep your fingers crossed and hope by chance the chart is right. Many
of 
them are just straight-line extrapolations and that is not how all
chemistry 
works. Some of their film development specs are flat out guesses, some
upon 
a recommendation of a quesitonable source. One of those sources is a 
hairbrained maniac who frequented this place and hasn't developed a roll
of 
film for forty years. Pure impressionism.
