It worked!!!

It worked!!! The rounded notches don’t look quite as round as I’d like, but I should be able to easily work on that. Might make the “5s place” notches square instead of rounded, to easily distinguish from the triangular notches…but as long as I know rounded is on the top and triangular is on the bottom, might be a moot point.
I can also tell I need to take a wire brush or something to get a few remaining burrs off that the rocket blower didn’t take care of. Easy fix. I’ll be going through and doing this for the rest of my film holders…it will make matching shots to my notes much easier without the futility of trying to keep track of the order I load on the reel in the dark bag. Especially when I bracket 2 or 3 exposures of the same composition.
These frames, from front to back, are numbers 10-7 descending. I hope to be able to scan these tomorrow, albeit at the mercy of my “real job.” I was a little nervous because it was hot today and the tap water was pretty warm, I calculated a developer time of only 3:15 but my effort to load and unload chems from the tank rapidly along with the rotational development seems to have been okay. These negs are uniformly dense, at least they look to be so when wet.

@kaiser_franz the negs look great! Are the notches a counting/tracking system so you can note down which notch had what exposure?

@shom Exactly! I use a little field notes notebook to track frames. Then when I put the negatives in the sleeve I can notate the exposure info.

@tapasinthesun Thank you! I can now confidently add myself to the list of people who recommend this method. Need to find time to file the rest of my film holders!
