[Class 98 (ii)] Material for producing coloured images consists of a light-sensitive silver-halide layer having a coarsely dispersed dyestuff incorporated therein, the layer being transparent to light rays which would be absorbed by the dyestuff in a finely divided form. The dyestuff may be introduced into the emulsion as a powder or may be dissolved in a solvent which does not cause swelling of the gelatin, for example, an alcohol soluble dyestuff may be incorporated in the emulsion in solution in alcohol by rapid agitation. As dyestuffs, spirit-soluble Chinoline Yellow, and the tannates or abietinates of basic dyes such as Methylene Blue, Janus Blue, Red, or Yellow may be used, the alcohol solutions being poured into water and the resulting suspension mixed with the gelatin. Acid and substantive dyestuffs such as Anthosine, Metanil Yellow, Naphthylamine Black and Diamine Pure Blue precipitated with salts of the alkaline earths, magnesium salts or heavy metal salts e.g. zinc or silver salts or with salts of organic bases such as aniline or naphthylamine. Dyestuffs soluble only in hot water may be used without precipitating agents. The dyes may also be formed in situ in the layer from preliminary stages or components. In examples, (1) Fast Red B in powder form is incorporated in a silver halide layer, and (2) Anthosine or Chrysophenine is precipitated as a barium salt and mixed with a silver halide emulsion. The lavers may be combined with one or more colourless or diffusely coloured layers or layers containing dyeforming substances. Specification 458,256 is referred to.

As shown, the chamber pressure is controlled by a diaphragm valve 22 in the outlet line 21, the valve being regulated by compressed air supplied to it through line 26 from a pressure controller 24. The latter receives compressed air from a source 15 and supplies controlled amounts of such air to line 26 in response to pressure variations in chamber 19 as sensed by a line 23 connected to outlet line 21 upstream of valve 22. Pump 13 is supplied with liquid by a smaller capacity pump 10 and with air from source 15 by line 14. The proportion of air introduced into the liquid may be altered by a valve 17 in line 14 and pumps 10 and 13 are run at the same speed so that for a fixed setting of valve 17 the proportion of air in the liquid is always the same regardless of the speed of the pumps. The pressure controller 24 is adjustable so that the preselected chamber pressure may be varied. A dasher is provided in chamber 19. In a modification (Fig. 3, not shown) the valve 22 is replaced by a pump driven by a hydraulic motor the speed of which is varied by regulating the flow of driving fluid thereto under the control of the pressure controller 24.
