By all means let him experiment and improvise — that is the only sure road to progress — but let him be under no illusion that there is an "easy way" to achieve a sound projector in the conversion of a silent one. (In a future issue, we hope to bring readers a complete account of one amateur's achievement in converting his silent 1 6mm. projector to sound, for benefit of those amateurs who feel capable of tackling a similar job. — Editor ) .

Usually, film processed by any of the large manufacturers is thoroughly washed and therefore free of the residual fixer. Occasionally, however, negatives processed by smaller laboratories without complete modern equipment may contain traces of hypo. Where there is any doubt on this question, the film should be washed for about one half hour in running water before toning. Films containing hypo will have a tendency to bleach or tone unevenly making it very easy to diagnose this condition. The remedy, of course, is to avoid this trouble by pre-washing any suspected film. The wash water temperature should be around 65 0 to 70 0 as warmer water will swell the gelatin and release the fixer. Another possible cause of non-success in toning is the fact that occasionally films processed by some manufacturers are later coated with a protective lacquer making them resistant to toners or tints. Where this condition is encountered, write the manufacturer for name of a suitable solvent to remove this coating. When submitting films for processing that you plan to tone later, direct the processor to omit the lacquer. Examination of the toned film will show the emulsion to be colored and the highlights to be clear. The highlights may now be colored by tinting the film (as outlined in the January issue) to produce a two-color film. In other words, a scenic shot consisting mainly of trees and sky can be toned green for the foliage, and tinted blue or amber for the sky areas. A point to remember in this duo-process, however, is to tone the film first, wash thoroughly in runrung water to clear the highlights, then tint.
