MOTION PICTURE PHOTOGRAPHY
These outfits are made in various sizes, having capacities of 18, 50, 100 and 200 feet for standard gauge film and in the 50 and 100 feet capacities for 16 millimeter gauge film. A developing outfit consists of three metal tanks, which nest one within the other for shipment and storage, also one or more spiral reels and a drying rack. A wire screen is also included.
Directions for Using Stinemann Developing Equipment
Place reel on stationary winding pin at convenient angle to film box so that film will slide smoothly into reel. Fasten end of film in slot in center of reel then revolve reel with left hand, using the right hand against outer edge of film to guide film into reel. When wound, fasten other end of film to reel with metal clip. Film should be firmly wound and securely attached with the clip.
Immerse reel in developer and move rapidly up and down several times to prevent air-bells. When using Pyro repeat this movement several times during development.
When development is complete, rinse, fix and wash film while still on reel. Water and Pyro should not exceed three inches in depth.
When thoroughly washed, lift reel out of water and drain for a few seconds. Release ends of film and place reel face down on screen in about four inches of water by grasping reel through finger-holds on reverse side. Agitate slightly and raise reel, leaving the film on the screen. Lift screen out of the water, place on stand with revolving top and wind film on drum to dry. Do not touch face of film at any time — always lift the reel by handle in center.
Don't try to put film in reel when reel is wet.
Don't try to take film from reel except by turning reel upside down in water.
Don't try to dry the film in the reel.
It is not necessary to use the screen with 50-foot film lengths — film may be rolled on core held by fingers.

The two greatest problems of both the still and motion photographer are correct exposure and correct development. These two things are shrouded in mystery even to many professionals —
