I happen to have all three sets of Kodak rotary-processing recommendations
for Tmax 400 in front of me: the old (prior to move to new coating facility)
Publication F-32, the "new" (first generation at new coating faciity) F-4016,
and the "newest" (current production, "finer grain!") F-4032.

Kodak claims that the "finer grain" TMY -- the newest stuff -- has "slightly"
different processing times than the generation immediately prior. If their
table is to be believed -- nonsense.

The data in the newest -- F-4032 -- publication, for the "finer grain"
film appear, for rotary processing of sheet film, to exactly match the
data in the oldest -- F-32 -- publication, for the "old coating facility"
film.

Time to plug in the densitometer again and hope it's still working, I
suppose. I wonder what exactly Kodak is up to: did they revert production
to how (and where?) it used to be before the first set of changes?

They probably didn't bother to rewrite the data sheet,...just rename it.
Good luck.
