PART III. REMOVING THE FILM. No dark room is required in changing the spools in th e No. Stereo Kodak. The operation should, however, be performed in a subd ued light. I. When the last film has been exposed, turn th e key about IS half turns until the letter S (stop ) appea rs before th e red window which is nearest th e winding key. II.

20 DIMMED EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY. FINDERS AND HOW TO THEM BRIGHT AGAIN. MAKE For some cause which is not thoroughly understood, g lass will sometimes" sweat" to such an extent as to cover it with a sort of film, which, of course, makes it very dull whether it be used as lens or >mirror. G lass that is tightly packed in cases as well as that which is exposed to the air is liable to take on this film, supposedly from peculiar atmospheric conditions.

22 EAS TMAN KODAK COYIPANY . Bya dark r oo m is meant one that is wholly d a rknot a r ay of light in it. Such a ro om can easily be secured at night almost any where. The reason a dark room is required is that the film is ex tremely sensitive to white light, either dayligh t or lamplig h t, and w ould be spoiled zl exposed to 'it even for a fraction of a second .
NO. 2 STEREO KODAK MANUAL. 23 negatives have all had the same exposure, development can be completed before cutting the negatives apa rt-if, however, one or more pairs of negatives flash up more quickly than the others they should be cut out of the strip with a pair ()f shears and transferred back to the tray of clear water, where they may remain until the balance of strip has been developed and can then be developed one pa ir at a time.
EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY. In unrolling the film preparatory to development, care must be taken that the end be not allowed to roll up over the paper. The exposures should be cut apart with the PAPER ON TOP . Fig. II shows a cartridge unrolled with the film on top. To correct this simply turn back the film as indicated by the dotted lines, thus bringing the film under the paper. b. Put the exposures into the first tray pair by pair /ace dow".. put them in edgewise, to avoid air bells, and immerse them fully.

Pour off the fixing solution into the slop bucket, and fill the tray with clear, cold water; repeat this at intervals of five minutes, five or six times, keeping the negatives in motion, or transferring them back and forth to tray NO.3, one by one, to ensure the water acting evenly upon them. The fixing solution must only be used in tray NO.
EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY. O ver =E.x posure. Caused by too much light. Negatives de velop evenly, shadows a,most as fa st as high lights. No contrast, and no deep shadows. Over-exposure can be overcome in the development by the addition of bromide of potassium t o the developer. T he printing and de veloping outfit includes a package of brom ide with directions for its use. The novice will soon learn to recognize over-exposure and to apply the remed y .
PAR T V . PRINTING . In making stereoscopic prints, the aim is to convey the idea of perspective and to depict animated life. This can be easily accomplished by following the instructions closely and by using a little care in the matter of trimming and transposing the negatives. The operation of putting the Solio paper and the film face to face in printing, places the right hand print on the left hand side, and vice ve1'sa.
28 EASTMAN KODAK COMPAN Y. The operation of putting in the Solio paper should be performed in a subdued light, that is, in an ordinary room as far as possible from any window. The unused paper should be returned to its e nvelope and kept in a drawer a way from the light. The back of printing frame is hinged to permit the inspection of one section of th e print at a time without destroying its register with th e negatives.
NO . 2 STEREO KODAK MANUAL. Then transfer the prints to the washing tray and wash one hour in running water, or in 16 changes of water. The prints can then be laid out and dried between blotting papers. 'When d ry , the prints a re trimmed for mounting. In trimming the prints, choose a base line that cuts a certain point in the foreground of each print, and trim along that line. The top should th en be trimmed parallel with the base line. Solio paper can be purchased ready trimmed for stereoscopic work.
30 EASTMAN KODAK COMPA N Y. DON'T. Don't fail to hold the K odak level. Don't try to make time exposures while holding the Kodak in hands. Don't fail to turn two unexposed sec tions of film into place after each stereoscopi c exposure. Don't a llow the black paper to loosen on the spool in loading and unloading the Kodak or the film will become fogged. Don't separate twin negatives until they have been trimmed.
