New Kodak Stock
Practical tests with these new slocks under normal laboratory processing conditions show that they are the
greatest advance in dupliEASTMAN FINE GRAIN eating emulsions up-to-date. DUPLICATING FILMS The new products are a
Fine drain Duplicating Positive Film and a Panchromatic Fine Grain Kegative material. The Fine Grain Positive Duplicating Film is very slow and needs a 500 watt lamp in the printer house to provide adequate exposure. I loth stocks should be developed in the Borax I) 76 developer. An overall gamma "\ approximately .91 for contact dupes will produce an equivalent contrast to that existing in the original negatives. This can best he obtained under normal conditions of machine development at a temperature of 65 F. by developing the positive for approximately (.l minutes ami lie negative lor approximately 5 minutes, which should yield gammas of 1.8 and .7 respectively. The only drawback to the new stock is that the Fine Grain Duplicating
Negative Emulsion being panchromatic must he handled under Wratten Series 111 safelight, which is difficult with optical work. This could perhaps he overcome by manufacturing a similar negative emulsion specially tor optical work, with a lower actinic value, so that it could be handled under a brighter safelight.
Canadian A.C.T.
Welcome news from Canadian cameraman George Rutherford, that the plan put forward at a Toronto meeting of cine-technicians to form another British Empire Unit of A.C.T. was accepted by the key-men, and secretary Roy O'Connor is preparing the organisation so that they can all get into action.
India has already a branch of A.C.T., and we are looking forward to the boys "down under" to form up in Australia. The Canadian branch will cover over 4,000 miles of territory. We wish them good shooting and llapp\ New year.
