Device to Print Films.

A novel method of printing long
lengths of film has been devised by a
Manchester inventor. The negative and
positive strips are wound in contact
around the body of a large drum and
held in position by transparent bands
and clips. The light inside the drum
then reaches the whole of the film at
once and consequently the usual opera

film separately are somswhat cur
