The Atheniun Owl

Although Athens played a
great role in ancient Greece
its beginnings were humble.
Its few hundred inhabitants,
mostly Woodworking farmers,
had little chance to acquire
money.
If any coins circulated
among them they were mostly
small obols, to be spent for
modest needs of the market
place. The few feudal barons
used drachm and two drachm
pieces. either referring to the
city's olive oil trade or show
ing the emblems of the noble
families themselves.
About $50 B. C. one of these
ambitious feudal lords, PeisiS-
tratuS, grabbed the reigns of
government with the help of
the lower classes. He made
foreign conquests and pro-
NOTED trade and industry.
All this took money, and
PeisiStratus decided not only
to strike bigger coins (tetra-
drachms or four drachmae)

that of any other color, so
without a filter the blue sky
may appear just as white as
the clouds. The yellow filter
holds back the light and in
creases the contrast between
sky and clouds. The deeper
the color of the filter, of course,
the greater the contrast
achieved and the longer the
exposure required.

Film Lending Centers
Book lending libraries in

inspired similar service for
owners of home movie pro-

one film lending library in
every city and town large
enough to support one or more

The movie library generally
operates exactly as does a

one thing: Should the protector
owner rent a film he decides
he wants to keep, he finds that
the purchase price has been
reduced with every loan of the
film until it can be purchased
outright for considerably less
than its original cost.

CAMERA ANGLES
New Focus
DeviceLike
Human Eye
BY A. J. WEDDERBURN
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution


News and notes from the
world of photography: A
"seeing eye" movie camera,
long awaited by amateurs the
world over. has finally been
produced and will soon be on
the market.
Bell & Howell recently an
nounced their 16-mm. model
200-EE magazine camera with
built-in exposure meter that
automatically, by means Of a
miniature electric motor, OPP
crates the lens diaphragm on
the same principle as that Of
the human eye.
One of the wonders of ma
ture is the human eye, which
adapts itself automatically to
almost any light condition.
On a dim. moonless night, for
example. the iris expands to let
in more light for better vision:
and at noon when illumination
is perhaps a million times as
bright. the same natural lens
contracts automatically to pre-
vent too much light from en-
tering. The eye is marvelously
adaptable. but it can also play
tricks on the most experienced
photographer and cause him
to miss that chance of a life
time" shot. For precise pho
tographic exposures an electric
cell exposure meter should
always be used.
Electric Cell Built In
The new camera has an
electric cell built into the
camera-in a position just
under the lens. Like any
other light measuring device,
1t determines the light inten-
sity and when the release but
ton of the camera is pressed
1t activates the tiny motor
which in turn opens or closes
the lens diaphragm to the
proper stop for just the cor
rect exposure.
One of the great handicaps
Of the cinematographer was
changing light conditions dur
ing the filming of a scene.
Now it will be possible to fol-
low a moving subject from a
location in shade to another
In full sunlight, maintaining
all the while, a good exposure
throughout. And if the sun
should suddenly duck behind
q cloud during a scene the
built-in exposure meter will
automatically reset the iris
diaphragm as the light
changes.
Because all films are not
rated at the same speed the
new camera provides for a
means to adjust for this
factor or for changes in shoot
ing speed. Additionally. it
has as another special fea-
ture a red warning signal
that appears in the finder if
at any time there is insult
ficient light for good ex-
posture; when sufficient light is
again available the red signal
disappears.
