We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

CHAPTER II. THE CAMERA METHOD. THIS method requires a camera with a long- bed and bellows to match, a lens of 4 or 5 inches' focus, and an adjustable hood, projecting in front of the lens in such a way that it extends to the frame which holds the negative, so that only those rays of light which pass through the negative can enter the lens. The most convenient apparatus for this work is Anthony's lantern-slide camera, made at the suggestion of the author. Anthony's Lantern-Slide Camera. The frame carriage for the ground-glass and the plate-holder may be oscillated within certain limits, so that the image on the slide may be perfectly vertical, even if that on the negative is askew.
