Thomas & Co, Add two gross lanterns to my Yours faithfully, WILLIAM ADCOCK. Rayapuram, Mdaras. 27th July, 1889. Dear Sirs,—Mr. F. York was kind enough to send me a sample dozen of your Lantern Plates for trial, and Ihave much pleasure in stating that in my opinion they are the most perfect Plates of their kind. I do not think you exaggerate in the least in saying that Collodio-Bromide is superseded, for when one can get such perfect Plates for 1s. a dozen, no one would think of going to the trouble ef making Collodion Emulsion with its uncertainty and worry. I spoilt the first of the dozen purposely by giving different exposures on the two halves of the Plate to ascertain their rapidity, but after that I got eleven very beautiful transparencies with the remainder of the dozen, and since that I have used many dozens of your plates with the most gratifying success. I have had some thirty dozen out, and find they keep exceedingly well in this climate, for I used some that had been in a cardboard box some four months and they were perfect as at first. Messrs, R. W. Thomas & Co., London. Yours faithfully, FRED DUNSTERVILLE.
