I decided to make up my own paper developer in the darkroom. It's a warm tone development going back to 1932 according to Gevaert manual of photography. However it is most probably much older. This formula doesn't contain the substance Metol which is what makes the blacks black. It's a Hydroquinone based developer so more on the brown side especially with Potassium Bromide combination. Most modern paper developers will contain a mixture of both. 

Gevaert G.262, Special Warm Tone Paper Developer. The image tones tends toward red brown as the dilution is increased or as development time is extended.
