I studied Photography in College and we did dark room work which was very interesting and it would take a few days to simply develop a photograph. Just goes to show how easy we have things now, click of a button and you have a photograph instantly and forever.
It's crazy to think how advanced things are now.

If you could have emptied the developer tank after a couple of years use you would be surprised how much silver there was in the bottom of the tank.
We where never allowed to empty the developer and maybe that's why :O I bet they had a side business of selling silver when we left haha
The Photo School ( where they trained the Air Force photographers) had a good party at the end of their course, largely paid for by silver.
They would go through hundreds of rolls of film during their course, it is where a lot of the B&W photos came from originally.
