Should like instructions for making 

 transparencies from photographic nega- 

 tives. Also can you give a cause for this : 

 Several pictures taken of the Dewey arch 

 appear to be light struck in the same place. 

 Are they really light struck, or is the effect 

 due to the sun's shining on the arch in a 

 certain way?

ANSWER. 



A transparency is but a print from a 

 negative on a slow plate made in exactly 

 the same manner as a Velox print. Car- 

 butt's "A" plates are excellent. You should 

 mask off about an inch of your negative 

 all around so as to give a border of-- clear 

 glass. That is, for a 5x7 cut a mask out of 

 black or red thin paper 5x7 outside with 

 an opening say 3x5 in the center. Lay this 

 on the negative and in the dark room lay a 

 transparency plate on that, face down, in 

 the printing frame, close the frame and ex- 

 pose to lamp or gas light from one second 

 upward, at a distance of 2 feet from a 4- 

 foot burner, according to the density of the 

 negative. The plate is then developed with 

 metol or amidol or eiko-hydro, fixed, 

 washed well and dried. It should then be 

 backed with a ground glass, covered with 

 clear glass and framed. 



Your plates were not light struck in tak- 

 ing the picture you mention by any reflec- 

 tion. Your holder or your dark room is 

 not safe. — Editor.
