vantage Of the three-Color process was that
normal speed Of the ordinary Nnemato-
graph film, one foot second, had TO De
trebled to give forty-eight exposures In
stead of sixteen a second. and such an In
crease Of speed involved prohi5itive eX-
pense and complicated mechanical devices
for the manipulation Of the films.
THE kinemaoolor camera. as finally
worked out. is similar to that used for
black and white work. except that it is
instead of sixteen exposures a second. Its
essential difference Is that IT has rotary
color filter placed between the lens and the
shutter. This filter consists Of an aluml-
mum skeleton wheel having one segment
filed In with green dyed gelatne, and 1t
ls so geared that the exposures are made
through the two filters alternately.
The negative films consist OF images In
pairs. one being the record OF the red and
the other Of the green in the object photo

two pictures are not superimposed on the
