       Note: Flash lamps are divided into two types for most amateur use: Fast and Medium. This referc to the flashing characteristics.
   "Fast" flash lamps (such as 'tSM, or "SF") arc fired 5 milliseconds (1/200 second) after contact is made. "Medium" flash lamps
    (such as Press 25, No. 1 1 , etc.) are fired 20 milliseconds (1/50 second) after contact  is made.

    Note: Fresh size "C" photo-flash batteties are essential when taking flash pictures. We recommend replacement after 50 to 60 flash
pictures have been taken. Even when not used, batteries deteriorate. lf batteries are a few months old, it is wise to replace them to
avoid the possibility of disappointing results. Weak batteries witl delay lamp firing. Under-exposure  or non-exposure  will result.
