Revised temperature and density estimates are provided in a synthesis of previous studies of the two-ribbon solar flare of July 29, 1973 and results are compared with observations of a similar event by the Solar Maximum Mission on May 21, 1980. Photographs taken through X ray filters permitted determination of the spatial distribution of temperature and density in the loop system and variations over time. The entire growth process of the flare is detailed, including the magnetic field configurations and the enlargement of the Hα flare ribbon separation distance. The temperature is revised to 8.8 million K during maximum soft X ray emission and 6.8 million K at the appearance of the last Hα loops. The 1973 flare is noted to have occurred in an old, decaying spotless region, producing higher loops at lower density than the 1980 flare, which displayed ribbons imbedded in a sunspot group.
