Amafeur Lensmen i l l This isn't an ingenious formula for an explosive. but one for preparing bulbs for blackout pictures. The fingers in the pie belong to Richard Maresh. DeLos Ness, Milton Okun, Dick Worthen and Don Anderson, Camera Club Develops Snaps Althouah membership was not larae, the Camera Club, assisted by Mr. l-loae, spent the year enthusiastically puttina its hobby to practical use. Determined that blackouts should not impede the progress of the picture snappers, for an upfto-the-minute project, members coated flash blubs with a dye mixture of eosirie color, lartrayive, acid violet, nathalf ine green, gelatin, and alycerine, which ex' cludes all liaht except infra-red rays for use in takina snaps with infraered films. tlnfra- red films otherwise require a red filter, but are developed by the ordinary method used for supersensitive films.l Facilities for the Camera Club also pro' vided an aid for photographic work for the Warbler, and lames Potter said that all films for the annual were developed in solutions mixed from special inaredients in the chem- istry laboratory. D 75 Ca developer for filmsl, D 72 ta developer for sensitized paperl, and F 5 ta fixina bath for both film and paperi were on hand most of the year. Amana other discoveries and accepted modern methods, aerosol a wetting agent for laboratory and photographic purposes was found to be helpful to dissolve chemi- cals more readily, as well as a rinsina bath to speed up dryina time for the films, there' by preventing! water spots and pin holes. Meetings were held twice a month, and all members were allowed free use of chem- icals and the darkroom.
