ORDER FILM
     BY NUMBER
    All Kodak Films may be distinguished
 by the numbers on the ends of cartons:
         A-130
 is the number for  film  for  this Camera
 (No. 2-C Autographic Kodak Junior).
The number appears on the carton, on
the cartridge, and on the Autographic
door which is located on back of camera.


             NOTICE
  Autographic film can be used in old style
Kodaks, old style film can be used in Auto_
graphic Kodaks, but to get autographic results
Autographic film must be used in an Auto_
graphic Kodak.

BEFORE LOADING.


  Before  taking  any  pictures  with  the  2-C
Autographic  Kodak  Junior, read the following
instructions  carefully  and make  yourself  per-
fectly     f amiliar   with   the  instrument,   taking
especial care  to  learn  how   to  operate  the
shutter.   Work     it  for  both  time  and  instan-
taneous exposures several times before thread-
ing up the  film.
  The  first and most  important  thing  for  the
amateur  to bear in mind  is that the light which
serves to impress the image upon the sensitive
 film  in a small  fraction  of  a second when   it
comes through  the lens, can destroy the film as
quickly as  it makes the picture.   After  the film
has been developed  and   all  deaeloper  thor-
 oughty washed, out,   it may be quickly  trans-
 ferred  in subdued white  light  to the fixing bath
 rn'ithout injury.   Throughout   all the operations
 of loading and unloading be extremely  careful
 to keep the  red paper wound  tightly  around
 the  film  to prevent  the admission  of  light.

      LOADING  WITH  FILM.


  The  film  for the No. 2-C Auto-
graphic Kodak Junior  is furnished
in  light  proof  carrridges and the
instrument   can,   there f ore,  be
loaded in daylight.  The operation
should, however, be performed  in
a subdued  light,  not  in  the  glare
                               THE FILMo f bright  sunlight.    It should also                                         A-130
be borne  in mind  that  a f ter  the
seal is broken care must be taken to keep the
red paper taut on the spool ; otherwise  it may
slip and loosen sufficiently to  fog  the  film.
    I.  To  load  the Kodak,  take a position  at
a table rn'here the  daylight   is somewhat  sub-
clued, and grasping  the  instrument  with  the
left  hand, remove  the back  by  pressing  in
simultaneously   r,vith the  thumb  and  second

   The  general  instructions  in  this  No.  Z_C
 Autographic Kodak Jurrior manual apply equally
 well to the camera, whether  fitted with single,
 Double   or F"7.7  Anastigmat    Lens.
   The only difference lies in the timing  of the
 exposures and the use of the diaphragll-I, inas-
 rnuclr as the Double  and  F.7.7  Anastigmat
 Lenses   will  work  at a larger stop or opening
 than the Single  Lens.

     MAKING   THE  EXPOSURES.
   Before making an exposure with the No . z-c
 Autographic Kodak  Junior,  eitrrer time  or  i'-
 stantaneous, be sure of  four  things:
   F'rnsr-That   the shutter  is set properly.
   Sncoxo-That   the diaphragm  stop  is set at
 th e proper opening.
  Tnrnn-That   the camera is focused.
  Founrrr-That   an unexposecl s.ection of  the:
 filrn  is turned  into  position.
