This investigation on the effects of intermittent sector-wheel photographic exposures was prompted by data obtained some years ago which were not in agreement with the results of other investigators. It is the accepted view that, compared with a continuous exposure, intermittance always causes a loss in photographic effect. The data shown here prove that the effect may be either a gain, a loss, or zero, dependent on the illumination. The illumination appears to control certain properties of the latent image not heretofore shown. When the latent image is formed by illumination above a certain level for the particular emulsion used, a growth of the latent image after exposure is found, and with the illumination below this level a fading of the image results.
