Thank you, Terry.

I thought it was sobering to see that half of the moisture-adsorbing ability of silica gel is already gone after about an hour and a half of exposure to 75% humidity at warm room...

PS - The graph on this website ("https://www.microtonano.com/TIN-Indicating-Silica-Gel-Desiccant.php”) suggests that most of the value of silica gel is achieved within a few hours.

It was quite a shock to find myself reading a copy of The Oldie, I can tell you! But I envy you the experience of having encountered any photographer of that era.
