We resume today a glossary of
Photographic terms in the hope
that our "translations" of photo
Technology will be helpful to be-
ginners and old-timers alike.
Surface tension is a character
istic of water, other Photographic
solutions and liquids and to COM
bat this condition, we sometimes
use a "wetting agent" to relieve
this condition to allow a rapid
and even penetration of the emul-
sion coating.
On many occasions we have
recommended the use of "viscoSe
sponge" to remove scum and ex-
cess water from negatives and
prints. This useful photo gadget
is simply an article of high alb
sorbing character.
A projection print" is one which
is made through the use of an
enlarger as opposed to the con-
tact print produced by passing
light through a negative in close
overall contact with the printing
paper. Also known as an enlarge
ment print, it is made by casting
the negative image on a sheet of
sensitive paper which is at a dis
tance from the negative. The
further the print from the mega
tive, the larger will be the image
Easel Is Necessary.
In photography an "eaSOl" is q
paper holder which keeps the
sheet Of sensitive paper in the de-
sired position while a projection
print or enlargement is made. The
easel is indispensable to the en-
largement process for the paper
will curl or move out of position
unless held securely by this device
'Ektachrome" and "Koda.
chrome" are trade names fol
color films that yield the we'll
known color transparencies. Ansce
color film is another of the popu.
lar color mediums. Ektachromt
color film, which recently became
available in rolls. is subject tt
processing at home by the anna.
teur, as is the Ansco product.
Carbon tetrachloride" is useC
in photography to remove finger
marks, grease. retouching medium
dirt, etc., from negatives. It i.
also useful as a polishing agent fol
glass surfaces. Because it is non.
combustible it is safe to keer
around the darkroom. However
it is advisable to keep the bottle
tightly stoppe-ed to prevent a con.
centration of the fumes from
gathering in a confined working
space.
Bleeding" has two popular
Photographic meanings. One re.
Ifers to the position of a print wher
it is so mounted that it comei
to the edge or edges Of a noun
with no allowance for a border o.
margin. The other. refers to tn
spreading or diffusion of a dy'
from one area of a print into an

'cameramen use the term ."cast-
ing" In either case the term
refers to the selecting of models
or actors who are best fitted to
the parts for which they are
chosen.
Many Of the older hands at this
game blithely talk about "chlo-
ride papers" and "chloro-bromide
papers" for print making. Their
characteristics are quite different
as we shall see. The chloride
paper is the slower Of the two and
takes its name from the silver
chloride which is a component Of
its emulsion. It is used for con-
tact printing, being too slow for
projection work under normal cir
cumstanceS. The chloro- bromide
paper has an emulsion containing
silver bromide as we'll as silver
chloride, is considerably faster or
more responsive to light than the
chloride stock. It is widely used
for making projection prints. The
silver chloride is deliberately used
in the emulsion formula to slow
down the fast-acting silver bro-
mide so that the photographer
will have ample time for manipu-
lation during the printing. There
are papers, however. that omit the
silver chloride which are extremely
fast and are known as bromide
papers.
"Cut film" differs from the roll
film that Is favored by most
amateurs in that it comes in cut
sheets that must be loaded in film
holders which are used in the
larger cameras. Some roll film
cameras will take cut film adapters
which permit the use of the film
holder with what is normally a
roll film camera.
i The transparent and flexible
substance which receives the
) sensitive emulsion coating of films
is referred to as the film base"
The modern film base is made of
a non-explosive acetate material
that is safe for the photographer
, to handle freely.

says land just that percentage is
lost when a foreign tongue is
used" 1t is not quite so impor-
tant in highly dramatic works
where the action helps define the
plot but it is deadly for comedy.
TRY to imagine" he said "a
comedy on a stage without any
laughs" Yet that is what hap
pens when the American audience
hears work like "The Barber of
Seville" in Italian. The essence
of the comedy is lost.
Acting in televised opera must
be different from that familiar in
the opera houses and Mr.. Chot-
Izinof has decided ideas on this.
He prefers underStatement to
overstatement. European opera is
too melodramatic, he thinks, and
believes the bad histrionics and,
when opera is given in English,
the unfortunate translations. have
held back the enthusiastic accept
ance of the art by Americans. He
avoids too, having name singers.
Celebrated opera artists are in a
groove, he claims and it is almost
impossible to train them in the
understatement he desires. Tests
of applicants for his casts are
made on three counts-voice, die
ton and being photogenic.
Two Months in Rehearsal
The summer months are taken
up with selecting the casts and
in making a proper English ver-
sion of the works. Two months
of rehearsing are required to
ready an opera for television.
One great recompense to Mr..
IChotzinof for his multiple ef-
forts is the whole hearted Coop
Ieration he receives from his
artists and co-workers. Together
they are creating an essentially
American opera tradition that
can be shared by the entire coun-
try.
One act operas, easily adapted
to television, was the natural
choice in the beginning of the
new venture. Some of the longer
operas. which he has presented
had to be tailored to fit the
medium. A great deal of skill
was required to preserve the orig
inal flavor of the work while cut
ting it down. Next season he
hopes to give full-length opera in
two sections and without mutila-
ton. He will continue his canny
practice of choosing first a pop
ular work to interest the people
following it, for cultures sake
with one not so we'll known. The
important result is simple. If the
people of this country. haye few
opportunities to go to q t1eatel
land hear grand opera, opera car
now come to them.

other in color printing. It like
wise applies to the mingling of
colors applied by hand to photo
graphic prints.
MOdernized Box Cameras.
A "box camera" is the simplest
form of a camera which employs
a lens for taking pictures. Usually
it is no more than rectangular
box with a fixed focus lens and
one-speed shutter and an ar
rangement for passing the film
from one film spool to another.
Lately box cameras have become
somewhat more modern in design,
with provisions for flash and
other gadget improvements.
A miniature camera" is a
more advanced type of instru-
ment with various shutter speeds
and complex lens systems which
allow the photographer wide lati-
tude, including the stopping of
motion at fairly high rates of
speed. These cameras are classed
as miniatures largely because of
their limitation of film size which
at the largest, does not exceed
l2Ax2A inches. Most of them
take the popular 35-mm. film
The small film allows the size Of
the camera to be held to a min
imum-hence the term miniature
To Scale Exposures.
Many writer's and lecturers re-
fer to the brightness range" o.
brightness scale" method o1
computing exposures. They NEAR
by this that the ratio between
the lightest and the darkest areas
of scene is determined and the
exposure made accordingly. Thi.
permits the recording of the best
possible over all exposure, consid.
ering both factors. An exposure
based on the object rejecting the
F.. most light would produce mega.
tive deficient in detail in tht
shadow areas. The opposite re,
suit could be expected if the ex'
posure were based on the SHADOW
portions of the scene.
