We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

75 FIG. 3: This card is then thumbtacked over entire surface of title easel and a few feet of test film are exposed. Cheap, home-developed positive will do for test. FIG. 4: Now project an image of this test strip on the wall or other handy surface for study. The overall outline, not the projected size of image, is the key fact. FIG. 5: Observing the projected image carefully, sketch its edge outlines on the cardboard-mounted ad paste-up, plotting all positions by reference to typography shown. FIG. 6: Transfer outline of this rectangle to new cardboard and then cut it out to form a mask. Note at bottom of card slight indents to fit over easel position. FIG. 7: Position mask over the easel and then maneuver title card behind it to find desired framing. Vertical and horizontal lines aid centering; 18" shows distance. FIG. 8: With title card pleasingly centered, remove the mask from easel with one hand as you hold card in place with other. Now thumbtack it to wooden easel, and shoot.
