Hangar Nocturne feet printing material, and letting your own technical control do the rest. In that way, you know just what you're doing all the time, and there’s no guesswork about how will this shot or that print come out: you know if you do your part right, it will! ‘'I’ve reason to think a lot of Agfa products. Back when Agfa Superpan Press first came out, its revolutionary speed brought me through many photographically tight places, where photographers with old-fashioned, slower films couldn’t have gotten a picture. With Agfa’s fast film, I got my pictures— and the pictures in turn put me professionally on the map. ‘'That speed is still vitally important. Shooting pictures, as I often do. Photographed by Lawrence Kronquist of the operations in the factory has to he done with a minimum of disruption of production. I ll leave it to you to imagine how our own executives (to say nothing of the several foreign military attaches on duty watching us rush out planes for their countries) explode when a photographer suggests setting up a lot of lights and holding up production while he gets the precisely perfect picture. I'll venture to say their remarks would make the remarks of a 'quickie' unit manager faced with a ten-hour delay seem absolutely calm and unemotional! With Superpan Press or SSS Pan and a couple of photofloods or flashbulbs in clamp-on reflectors I can usually ‘stop’ the motion and get really candid shots of the workers, while production rolls merrily ahead.” 22
