CAMERA CLUB NOTES

The exhibition of autochrome slides
last Thursday was exceedingly inter
esting. One from the Topango was
particularly good. The rest were, for
the most part, sunsets from Santa
Monica.
The house committee received a
shaking up last week and we are now
threatened with a full set of house
rules Let us suggest that smoking in
the club rooms be banned.
For the last two weeks Mr.. Crandall
has been telling us how to print in
clouds, and expects to take up noun
tains next. He is promising the club
a very interesting lecture on Begin
ners' Mistakes" 1t is to be illustrated
by slides of his own manufacture. The
mistakes are, let us hope, intentional.

Photo department, Herald:


Can you tell me something to pre-
vent the films from coming off the
glass? l use a plate camera and have
been developing my own plates, but
the heat seems to cause the plates to
peel. If you can inform me of sat
isfactory remedy 1 would be very much
obliged. A SUBSCRIBER.
Answer-Dip plate or film, if you use
the cartridge rolls, in a 10 per cent
solution of formaldehyde before inn
mersing in the hypo bath. This will
harden the film and prevent scratch
ing as well.
Photo editor: Please publish a
method for drying negatives quickly.
Is there any harm in so doing?
Answer-Method 1. Rinse from the
hypo bath, place in 1.50 formalin for
ten minutes, wash by pouring nearly
boiling water six times over the mega
tive and dry by heat. To get rid of the
relief which is produced by this process
the negative is rubbed with piece of
wash leather moistened with alcohol
Method II. After washing in the
usual wav or using a hypo eliminator,
lay a piece of old fine cambric- on the
negative and firmly pass a roller
much of the water thus removed, will
dry in a few minutes in a moderately
warm place.
Method III. Soak in two successive
baths of methylated spirit, and place
in a current of air. The present COM
mercial spirit, owing to the mineral
naphtha in it, causes whitish scum
on the surface of the film, and is not
favorable to clean work.
No.
Photo editor: What can 1 do to bet
ter negative that prints too quickly
and does not make a clear print?
Answer-Intensificat will in most
cases increase the density of the plate
or film and create additional contrast
A good formula is the following:
A-Bromide of potassium, 10 grs, 20
gms.; bichloride of mercury, 10 grs., 2S
gms; water, l ounce, 1000 c.c.s.
B-Pure cyanide of potassium, lO
grs., 23 gms; nitrate of silver, 10 grs.,
20 gms.; water, 1 ounce, 1000 c.c.s.
Place the negative in A till it is
white, then rinse and transfer it to So
luton B. If the intensification has
been carried too far it may be reduced
by treatment with a weak solution of
hypoSulphite of soda.
