Tu'O-Lens Turret— includes the Filmocoted J/<" f/1.9 and IJ^" f/3.5 focusing mount lenses which are interchangeable with other special purpose lenses; (2.) Lens-Seating Arrangement— -a. feature which permits the operator to screw the lens firmly into the turret and then adjust the graduation marks to the most convenient position for his individual reading; (3.) Maga.zine Loading and Ejec tor System — loading and unloading the Auto-8 is said to be fast and exact, and B&H states further that in the interlock between ejector and film footage dial lies a new "mistake proof" feature — the ejector button will not dislodge the magazine unless and until the footage dial is reset.

Adjustable Sheet Film Tank Announcement of the FEDCO DeLuxe Adjustable Sheet Film Tank, has been made by Fedco Products, 37 Murray Street, New York City. The new tank with the familiar red top accepts all sheet film sizes from 23/2 "x354" to 4"x S", either cut film or pack. It is quite similar to conventional roll film tanks in its operation. It has a reel which is loaded from one end, using a specially designed fool-proof feeder to insure getting one film in each slot. Another feature of the tank is its compactness, thus permitting the use of only 45 ounces of solution. New Film Tank The new tank measures only Sj^'x 6'A" by SVz" high. It is made of acidresistant bake lite, thoroughly lighttrapped, and the central well is so designed that a stem-type thermometer may be inserted directly into the solution.
