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.

Ha-la'tion: Halo surrounding the image of a bright object in a photograph, when the object has reflected light into the lens. To prevent halation, putty or thin gauze is used to dim the reflecting surfaces. "Gobos," "ears," "flags," and other forms of shades are also used to keep strong light out of the camera lens.
Heavy: Stage and screen term for a villain.
Hit: Theatre term for a successful stage or screen play.
"Hit 'em": Head electrician's order meaning "Turn on the lights."
Hypo: Solution through which the film is run after the latent image on sensitized film has been brought out by the developing solution. The solution stops the action of the developer and by dissolving the undeveloped parts of the emulsion renders the film insensitive to light from this point. The term hypo comes from one of the solution's principal chemicals, sodium hyposulphite.
Inkies: Studio electrician's abbreviation for the incandescent and noiseless lights used to illuminate talking picture settings.
