pack in the opening in camera so that the black paper tabs
                                              are at the top, and the red label on the film pack is outside
                                           or toward the back of the camera. See Fig. II.
                                           Caution: When placing the film pack in the camera, grasp
                                                       tlre pack by the edges as shown in  illustration  (Fig. II),
                                           do not squeeze the films by pressing in the top paper or "safety
                                         Cover".   If the films are squeezed, light might be admitted
                                           which would fog the edges of the films.
                                               After the pack has been placed in the camera in the proper
                                                     position, replace the back of the camera. To do this, have the
Fig. II.                                       short edge of the back with the long notch in it at the top, fit
                                         the two small projections on the long edges into the grooves on
                                         each side of the camera, then push the back down, to make  it
                                         secure. The camera now being loaded, proceed as follows:

                                              Operation    of the Kodak  Film  Pack
                                        For the first exposure gently pull out tab marked ,,Safety
                                         Cover," pulling the tab out perfectly straight, holding the
                                          remaining tabs under the finger and thumb of the other hand
                                              to prevent the possibility of pulling out more than one tab at
                                        a time, Fig. III.
                                 when the red cross trine appears, tear off from left to right
                                    by bending tab backward over the metal straight edge.
                                     The first film is now in position for exposure.
                                               After making the exposure pull out in a similar manner the
                                            black paper tab marked No. 1 and tear  it off.  Film No. 2 is
                                    now in position for exposure. Repeat the operation of pulling
                                            out and tearing off the black paper tabs one at a time as often
                                             as additional exposures are made.

or have not pulled out the tab.                                                         lf    Hawk-Eye Camera, either instantaneous or time, be sure
  Upon pulling out and tearing off                                       of two things:
tab No. 12 the pack is rendered light-
tight, Fig. IV, and may be removed
from the camera. To remove the
pack, after the last exposure has been
made, open the back of the camera                                             Fig. IV.as described on Page 1, and take out
the pack, reversing the operation as shown in Fig. II, page 2.

  The instructions in this little book are ample for the mani_
 pulation of the camera under every condition that the amateur
 is likely to encounter. Similarly, those who wish to do their
own developing and printing will find equally full instructions
accompanying the Film pack Tanks (for developing in day_
light, with the exception of loading the film in the tank), or
our Outfits for tray or dark-room use.
  For use with the No. 2 Film pack Hawk_Eye Camera. Film
Pack, provide a No. 1 Film pack Tank.
   If the tray or dark-room method of development  is preferred,
an Eastman A B C Developing and printing Outfit should be
provided.
  In keeping with our plan and purpose to provide the uiers
of our cameras with every help in the production of good
pictures, we will be glad to furnish such developing and print_
ing instructions, at any time, whether a tank or outfit is our-
chased or not.
  With the Film Pack Tank and Velox paper many amareurs
find as great pleasure in the finishing of the pictures as in the
taking of them, and are able to produce, by the simple methods
we have perfected, work of the hrghest order.
