With your test target completed, lay it out on the drawing board in a position which seems (simply by visual calculation) to be centered under the lens. Now, looking through your viewfinder, jot down on a sheet of paper the exact dimensions of your viewfinder image as shown on the test target. The image itself, of course, will be off-center due to parallax; what is important to know and record is how much off center. For you will now take a brief test shot of the title target in this position. Positive film, which you can develop at home, will do. With the processed film in hand, project it and note down the exact dimensions of the image on the film. Most likely it will be slightly offcenter — unless you are truly lucky. But the target lines will tell you how much — top and sides — your card was offcenter; say ^4 °f an inch on the vertical dimension, % inch on the horizontal. With these findings in hand, move the test target on the baseboard to a new position until these exact amounts (^4 and V2 inches) have been corrected in the viewfinder image. Shoot another test strip to make sure you're right — and then mark off your findings on the baseboard itself.
