III. © Edmund Zacher, II, ACL Above, equipment used by Edmund Zacher, II, ACL, on "Yankee" cruise; below, double exposure of movie camera inside its protective jacket cameras for as short a time as possible. Tropical packing is essential for all films, and those films that were to be used in the most humid areas we had packed in soldered tins in addition to the regular tropical packing. In most cases, we have exposed the film very shortly after removing it from the tropical packing. The fact that we have had a fairly constant temperature has been a help, I think. Although the temperatures have varied from seventy two to ninety degrees in the main cabin, these extremes have not lasted for more than a day. For at least ninety percent of the time, eighty to eighty two degrees has prevailed. Although there is an electric refrigerator of normal size aboard the Yankee, it is used for food storage only. This meant that we had to disregard the advice of the manufacturers to store films in a cool place, but we have kept our film supply in a dark place. Exposed films have been enclosed in at least two unsealed tins, to exclude as much moist air as possible. Although we have been able to keep pretty constant check on the still films, in the case of movie films, there has been an interval of upward to three months between the time of exposure and the time we receive radio reports of our results. Although many of the cameras have received their share of salt spray, waves and rain, I have been surprised that the damage and loss have been so small. When one considers that landing parties go ashore in the dinghy, to ride through reefs, over shoal spots, through surf, to a beach or a high dock, one can begin to imagine the innumerable hazards to cameras. And, added to this, there are the chances for accident on the trips around the deck or aloft, for shots of the crew, the seas, fish, other boats or of our ports. To date, our only complete losses have been one filter, one still camera and two rolls of still film, all lost SEES ALL— PLAYS ALL 16 MM SOUND PROJECTOR 1+1=2 ® New All-Purpose Model Combined utility is offered in this newly designed 16MM Sound Projector.
