NUMISMATIC NOTES
old English Coins: v

The era from the death Of
Henry VIII to George III. in
whose reign the American
colonies won their independ-
ence from the British Crown.
witnessed a tremendous up
heaval in English life. The
civil wars affected many
things, including the coinage.
Charles I set up q mint in
the Tower of London, where
all his coins were struck until
1642. Later he opened a mint
in York and, driven by neces-
Sity in his battle with Parlia-
ment, struck coins in many
other provincial towns.
After Charles left London,
Parliament continued minting
from the Tower, using the
Kings name and titles, up to
time of his execution in 1649,
but placing new mint marks
on the coins.
During the Commonwealth.
under Cromwell, there was no
authorized copper coinage. To
fill the gap various towns and
merchants began issuing far
thing and halfpenny tokens.
After the restoration Of
Charles II to the throne the
hammered coinage was re-
placed with machine-made
pieces. The milling of coins
also began in his reign. The

Tne SmltnSOnlan 1uStlbutlOn
The new year is just around
the corner and with 1t comes
the promise of new and better
products in the world Of pho
Biography. New films, new
cameras, new lenses and a host
of other items are on tap. We
will review a few Of them to-
day.
OF special interest to cut
film users is a new product Of
the Eastman Kodak Co. Des-
ignated as SO-1177, the new
film Is said to be almost four
times faster than Royal Pan.
When used under low level,
soft lighting conditions, 1t has
produced equivalent exposure
indices up to 5000.
To utilize such a speed rat
ing. the manufacturers rec
ommend 10 minutes forced de-
velopment in DK-60A. 1t is in
dicated. however, that better
quality negatives (when maxi
mum negative speed is not re-
quired) may be obtained with
longer indices and shorter de-
velopment times.
Grain Is Controlled
According to a User Of the
new film, grain size Of So
1177 is not Objectionable, con-
sidering the speed of the film.
The film was tested at q night
ball game under comparatively
inferior lighting conditions.
An exposure was made at
1895 second at f:5.6 with a
28-inch lens. Development took
place In DK-60A at 20 degrees
for 10 minutes with agitation
each minute for S seconds. 1t
Is reported that grain was not
excessive in four diameter en-
largements.
In a test run it took over 10
minutes for the new film to
clear in a hypo solution of
normal strength but in a full
