A PROJECTOR lamp will not last forever so don't wait for it to burn out before getting a replacement. Naturally, it will not burn out while the projector is standing idle, but when it is in use. and probably in the middle of a showing where there are a number of guests present. WHEN FILM runs out on the floor I it happens to the best of us I it should not be run through the projector again until it has been properly cleaned. Particles of dust which the film has collected will accumulate in the film pasages and scratch this and any other film run through the projectors before time off is taken to give the projector a thorough cleaning. * «■ * TTE QUICKEST way to ruin good film is to use a defective projector. The major injuries are scratched emulsion and torn sprocket holes. \^ hen a projector starts to "act up don t use it until it has been put in good working order again. * ♦ * WITH SUPPLEMENTARY lenses the higher the diopter rating the shorter the focussing distance, e.g., a 2 diopter lens would require focussing with the regular lens set at infiinty, whereas an 8 diopter lens would require focusisng at 5 inches. The latter when used with a 2-inch telephoto lens would make a postage stamp fill the screen. * * * IN TAKING a meter reading, if the main point of interest land there should be only one) is in the shade, then take your meter reading to include the shaded portion of the scene and not overlap into the brighter parts. * * * IN RE\ ERSAL processing when a permanganate bleach is used the emulsion is softened and it is necessary to use a hardener. \^ hen using a bichromatic bleach a hardener is not necessary. * * * WHEN USING a black background for titling or for other purposes, remember that black will reflect light just the same as white will reflect it. only to a lesser degree, and precautions to avoid uneven lighting are just as necessary with black as with white. * * * WHILE EVERYONE has their pet developer, yet for the first developer in reversal processing, a caustic soda developer has proven itself to be one of the best, and anv standard developer such as the old D-72 formula can be used for the second developer. * * * MIX EQUAL PARTS of glycerine and eucalyptus oil to make a humidor solution. However, it is only in very dry climates where a humidor solution is necessary. * * * GENEROUS WASHING of the film between each stage of operation in the bleach, is very important if best results are to be obtained. * * * ALLOWING HALF a second per word is a good method of estimating the length of time for shooting a sub-title. * * * SPECTACLE LENSES from the 5 & 10 cent stores make excellent supplemental lenses for titles and extreme close-ups. If the camera is not equipped with visual focussing, the diopter rating of the lens must be known in order to know how far the title or object should be from the lens in order to be in focus. 42
