3282 Harry N. Marvin, Cross Examination.
Q. I want to ask you, what did Edison ever do to that film before it came to that position in the camera, which entitles you to term it at that point on your diagram "Edison film." A. I do not understand that anyone ever prepared or conceived any film of the type indicated by the diagram prior to the time that I understand that Mr. Edison did it.
Q. Supposing you are going out with a camera which has inside of it mechanism such as represented by that diagram, to take a picture, and you have not any film to put on the supply reel. Where will you get your film? A. 1 might get it from the Eastman Company.
Q. And then when you get it from the Eastman Company, if it is not perforated, you perforate it, don't you? A. Very likely.
Q. And then in ordinary practice, you put it on that supply reel without doing anything else to the reel, don't you? A. I might, if the weather was good.
Q. And then when you started your camera, the film would pass clown to that point, wouldn't it, without your doing anything to it? A. I would have to thread it.
Q. Other than threading it, that is, putting it on the reel and threading it, you would not do anything to it after you bought it from Eastman and perforated it, prior to the time it reached that point on the diagram, would you? A. No, I think not.
Q. Now, kindly direct your attention to the diagram below the aperture and above the take-up reel where these words appear again toward the center of the diagram "Edison film." Please state Avhat, if anything, has been done to the film between the above point marked "Edison film" and the lower point marked "Edison film" except to pass before the aperture. A. Well, successive portions of the film have been exposed to the action of light, and photographs made thereon.
Q. And that lias been done to it in passing from the upper to the lower points? A. Yes.
Q. Please look at Defendants' Exhibit No. 181, which purports to be a diagram of a motion picture camera. I direct your attention to a point a little above the center where the words "Edison film" are printed with an arrow pointing to the film. Is the type of film there used the same
