The " Standa."
Nsw anil Improveil itotlels
ol this popular Daylight
Developing Tank.
The "Standa" models
have been considerably im-
proved and norv compare
lavourably with any Day-
ligh-t Developing Tanks
macle.
There are only three
separate sections, the Tank
and the Chamber that
holds the plates w,th its
Lid. Loading is simply a
matter of removing the
Lid, inserting the plates
and replacing.
Tbe two wire lilters enable trre loaded Chamber to be raised and
lowered and keep the fingers quite away from the solution.
The " Standa " Tank is of solid metal, highly nickel plated. There
are no loose parts, and consequently nothing to get out of order or mis-
laid. For tlie amateur who does a-lot of developing, and wishes to do
it in the easiest, quickest and most reliable way, no better Tank can
be had.
The " Junior " is made on the same plan as the " Popular,"
but has slight differences in the shape of the trapped bottom
and wire lifters.

-Very well and strongly made of zinc, japanned black on the outside
of the tank.
As zinc is an alloy that does not rust, this apparatus may therefore
be reasonably expected to retain its utility for-a very long-time.
An effective overflo{y syphon automatically draws off the hypo-
saturated water from the bbttom of the tank and at the same iiine
prevents the plates from getting uncovered during the process of
washing.
A movable combination rack (also made of zinc) ii provided- to take
either ;[-plate, 5x4, Post-card or -|-plate negatives.

Revolving Spray.
(Patent)
An exceedingly useful device for
thoroughly washing plates, fiIms
or prlnts.
Well made in brass, nickel-plated
and connected to any ordinary
water tap by a piece of rubber
tubing. The force of water en-
tering the hollow section, passing
downwards,downwaros, andancl escapingescaprng throughtnrougn
the perforated holes in the rod, causes the revolving motiol. An
additional use can be made of the spray as a bottle filler, by removing
the rubber plug and allowing the water to run through the central
openrng.
