THE EVOLUTION OF THE
MOTION PICTURE
BY JAMES L. CARLTON
Chief of Laboratories for Universal
Film Mfg. Co.
Static Electricity"

encounter their greatest difficulties
Manufacturers of motion pictures
from atmospheric conditions in the
fall and spring. hile cloudiness, rain
and fog contribute to the general set
backs, electricity is the most poten-
tial factor in retarding the develop
ment and photographing of pictures.
Most Troublesome in Spring.
The extreme prevalence of electric
ity in the air both in the spring and
fall evolve for the manufacturer into
troubles from static. The constant
ly varying air currents, transcending
from warm to cold, and vice versa,
are composed of widely diversified
potentials, which are continually dis
charging small quantities of static.
All material of celluloid compost
ton, such as brass, steel, and particu-
larly celluloid itself, which consti-
tutes the base of a motion picture
film, are highly charged with cleo
tricity and in their contact with other
inanimate bodies, discharge from one
10 announcer.
Whenever these discharges occur
between the film and some one part
of the many machines of brass or
steel composition through which it is
passed in the process of manufac-
ture, before being developed and
fixed, the tiny flash of light Incl
dent to the discharge makes marks
upon the film which so defaces it as
to render it useless.
Thousands of dollars worth of film
annually are destroyed because of
static, the technical term for the
transitory marks upon the pictures.
The financial loss is also contributed
to from other sources. Often many
weeks of work, great expenditures of
money and much study and attention
are brought to naught simply be-
cause of the static imposed by incle-
ment weather.
No Solution Yet Found
Scientists and engineers throughout
the world have devoted years of
study to the problem of eliminating
loses from static. Thomas Edison
and Nichola Tesla, two of the great
est men in the twentieth century
science, have sought in vain for the
solution Of the problem. Tesla, uni
versally acknowledged as the most
conversant authority on static cleo
triicity, and originator of the salientj
principals in wireless telegraph AL
telephone, has written an exhaustive
treatise on the subject. Copies are
listed the Franklin Institute of
Electricity most often resultant in
static is produced by friction in chem
ical action, and heat ana mechanical
motion. Amber, hard rubber, glass
and celluloid and many other sub
stances may be electrified, or given a
charge of electricity by rubbing them
with silk or woolen cloth. In that
condition they will attract various
light bodies, such as paper and pit
balls. Static electricity nanifests
itself principally in attraction and re-
pulsion, and may be explained as
condition of strain or stress on ether
