This unit, completely assembled, is shown in Fig 3 A further check for thermometer's accuracy in registering temperature may be made by comparing temperature of water as it reaches the processing tank — which is the point where accurate temperature control must be maintained. Start the flow of water to the tank and place another thermometer here to check it's temperature. Adjust hot and cold water supply valves until temperature of water reaching tray is exactly 65 0 (or the temperature desired), then, loosening the bushing securing the thermometer tube in mixing chamber, slide the tube up or down until top of mercury column is in line with the 65 0 mark on the scale plate. With adjustment completed, the bushing may be tightened again. To complete the unit, a short Yg" pipe nipple is joined to the pipe tee, and another similar pipe tee attached to it, as shown in Fig. 1. At either end of the last tee, small air cocks are attached. Tubes attached to nozzles of each distribute the "conditioned" water to the developing tray and the film washing apparatus. The overhead film washing apparatus is pictured in Fig. 2. Its function is to furnish a supply of fresh running water over the film surface to rid it of chemical residue after processing is completed. It consists of a length of brass pipe with small holes drilled along its length every %'s of an inch. A number 5 5 drill was used to make the small holes. A pipe tee, plugged at one end and fitted to one end of this pipe receives the rubber tubing carrying the water supply. In use, the water flows gently down on surface of the film as the developing drum rotates. The tray below permits overflow of water to be carried away to a nearby drain. Another feature of my home processing apparatus served by this water "conditioning" unit is the secondary compartment of the developing tray. This is immediately beneath the tray that holds the processing solutions and its purpose is to hold a supply of water at the proper temperature to maintain constant temperature of the processing solutions in the tray above. Over a period of time, processing solutions in open trays are subject to temperature changes induced by contact with the air in the room and will rise or fall ac cordingly, regardless of the temperature of solutions at time they are first put into the tray. Temperature of the water in the secondary tray is maintained constant by virtue of a continuous flow of water from the source of supply conditioned by the mixing valve. In summer months, when temperatures exceed those required for good processing work, water temperature is cooled to proper degree by means of a bucket of ice cubes through which the water supply tubing is coiled on its way to the processing tray. cAction (Background* . . . • Continued from Page 104 second notch or slit cut in edge of film as before. The film is then wound back on the supply spool until notch No. 1 is again in its original position below the film gate. Location of notch may be accomplished by holding one finger against edge of film while it is being wound back. Super-imposing of the action background over the title may then proceed. Here arises the problem of determining the exact amount of footage to shoot in the second exposure, and unless one's camera includes an accurate frame counter, the problem may cause difficulty. However, if an accurate record is kept of the time consumed in the first exposure, the second exposure can be given the same amount of footage in terms of seconds to insure that the second exposure covers exactly the same amount of film exposed in the first. Timing each exposure can be done by counting as the film runs through the camera or by clocking the exposure with a watch. It is necessary, of course, to return with camera to the darkroom after the second exposure in order to check position of the second notch. It should be pretty close to its original position, i. e., immediately below the film gate. If it did not progress quite that far and is still between bottom of the film gate and the supply spool, then this means that some of the film yet to pass through the gate is already exposed (the first of the double exposures) and must pass on below the gate before filming is resumed. If this is not done, the next scene or title photographed will be double exposed on the remaining frames of the already exposed area of the title just
