They can be diazotised at the ordinary temperature, and their diazo compounds are much stabler than those, for example, of alpha-and beta-naphthylamine or of aniline, which must always be used as quickly as possible.

The developing bath is made from 1-3/4 lb. beta-naphthylamine dissolved with the aid of 10 pints boiling water and 1 pint hydrochloric acid.

The best way of proceeding is the following: Heat 1-3/4 lb. of alpha-naphthylamine in 10 pints of boiling water, agitating well until the base is very finely divided in the water, then 1-1/4 pints of hydrochloric acid is added, and the heat and stirring continued until the base is dissolved, then the mass is allowed to cool, 27 lb. of ice is added and 1-1/2 pints of hydrochloric acid.

Glauber's salt, then diazotise and develop with naphthylamine ether.

The developing bath is a little more difficult to make, owing to the fact that it is more difficult to get the alpha-naphthylamine into solution.

Sometimes two developers are mixed together, in which case care should be taken that an alkaline developer naphthol or phenol be not mixed with an acid developer (phenylene diamine, naphthylamine, etc.), unless the acidity of the latter has been neutralised with soda; otherwise the developer might be thrown out of the bath in an insoluble and hence useless form.
