Here is the correct Solution A for WDH2+
WD2H+ (2003)
(John Wimberley)
SOLUTION A
Distilled water, 750.0 ml
*Benzotriazole, 0.2 g
Metol, 6.0 g
Sodium Bisulfite, 20.0g
Pyrogallol, 60.0 g
EDTA tetrasodium salt, 5.0 g
Distilled water to make 1.0 liter
SOLUTION B
Distilled water, 750.0 ml
Sodium carbonate, monohydrate, 110.0 g
Distilled water to make 1.0 liter
*For more accurate measurement, prepare a 1% solution by dissolving 1.0 gram of Benzotriazole in 100.0 ml of distilled water. Use 20.0 ml in place of 0.2 grams dry chemical.

+4 EI 100 Develop 12 minutes
Developing Times and ISO ratings are for Ilford FP4+, tray processed with continuous agitation at 68F/20C. These specifications should also apply with slight adjustment to other medium speed films. For slower films, the developing times will need to be reduced by about 10%. For faster films, developing times will need to be increased by about the same amount.
