The picture is an interesting

the tones being in the upper mid

it would be criticized on account
Of white dust spots remaining.

instance, after your set was installed,

first week. But then it began to
suffer from the vibration, the jar
ring, the interference of other elec-
trical appliances in your home. The
picture might suddenly begin to flop
over or flicker-lines appear In your
screen.
Now-and this Is important If you
had the knowledge to quickly make
a few minor adjustments. on the
outside controls Of your set, then
you could correct those symptoms,
you could keep the set playing per-
fectly and you could prevent major
breakdowns in exactly the same
way they were prevented In these
manufacturers tests.

UnderexpOSure Signs.
If the transparency is dark
looking and shadows are excess
sively blue, the trouble is due to
tinderexposure. We recommend
the use of exposure meters that
will take most of the guesswQrk
out of your exposures. If your
transparencies are consistently
underexposed correct for the con-
dition In the future by using q
larger lens aperture or by using
q slower shutter speed.
When q color transparency
comes back and you note that the
colors are weak and washed out
with the entire transparency ap-
pearing too light you can pin this
defect on overexposlre. When this
happens cut your next exposureI
