PICTURE PHOTOGRAPHY principles as the usual Kodak film. The film is wound upon spools which have solid steel sides. There is no paper backing, but a length of dark colored film is attached to each end of the raw stock. This protects the film from light both when loading the camera and when unloading. The first length is roughly ten feet long, and the trailer may be six feet long. In operating such cameras about four or five feet mav be used in Interior of the DeYry automatic camera showing the daylight loading spool of film as used in these cameras threading, then the film meter is set at 95 feet and five feet of film run through the camera. This leaves the meter at zero and should bring the fresh film behind the lens. This method is gaining in favor as it does away with the bulk and weight of magazines. The film spools are very slightly larger and heavier than an equal sized roll of raw film. The final consideration is that of the mode of operation. Modern cameras are of two types, the motor driven and the hand-cranked types. Each type has advantages of its own, and the commercial cinematographer should possess one of each type. 57
