156 THE ADVANCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY the distinct advantage over daylight enlarging, that it is subject to a much greater degree of control. When an enlarging lantern is used it is necessary, or at least advisable, to have some form of enlarging easel which can be placed so that the plane of the paper which is to be exposed is at right angles to the length of the lantern — i.e. parallel to the plate which is being enlarged. Fig. 71 shows an arrangement of this nature. Lanterns are also made which can be used in connection with a given class of camera, the camera lens taking the place of the enlarging lens. Fig. 72 shows an example of this. There is still one further camera appliance that demands a brief mention, although it cannot be claimed that it is of much interest except to the professional photographer. This is the studio camera and its stand. These stands must be absolutely rigid, and the attachment of the camera to the stand is such as to ensure that the whole arrangement is as far as possible nonvibratory. Fig. 73 shows a camera on its stand. When the height of the stand is altered this is done by turning the wheel, which can be seen behind the stand in the illustration. Mention has already been made of the necessity for some form of shutter in connection with the lens when Fig. 73.
