BEFORE LOADING.

   Before taking any pictures with the Panoram-
Koclak. read the   f ollowing instructions  caref ully'
Make yourself perfectly familiar with the iustrument,
taking especial care to learn how to opcrate the shtrt-
ter. Work it several times before threading up the
fi1m.
   The first and most important thing for the amateur
to bear in mind is tl-rat the light which serves to im-
prcss the photographic image upon the sensitive film
in a small  f raction of a second when it comes through
the letrs, can tlestroy the film as quickly as it makes
the picture. After the fihn has been developed'and
 al', dez.tcloper thoroughly washcd, out, it may be quickly
transferred, in subclued white light, to the fixing bath
without injury. Throughout all the operations of
 loacling and unloading, be extremcly careful to keep
the duplex paper wound tightly around the film to
 prcveut tl-re admission of light.

         LOADING THE CAMERA.
          The film  f or the Panoram-Kodak is
           furnished in light-proof rolls and the in-
           strument can therefore be loaded in day-
            light. The operation should, however, be                         r
          performed in a subdued light, not in the                 r:i:

first of these catches (i. e. the ones furthest from the
finder) are for the slow speed of shutter and are to be
used for all ordinary exposures.

  For views on the seashore, when the light is
extremely bright, use the high speed by turning lever
to the second catch and thus increasing the tension
on shutter.

PART III.
     REMOVING THE FILM.
  No dark-room is required in changing the spools
in the Panoram Kodak. The operation, should, how-
ever, be performed itt  subdued light.                        "                            last exposure, 5 or 11, B or    I.  Having made the

  When the Kodak is not in use, leave the lever

Kodak, as this removes all tension from spring. If
spring is kept constantly under tension it  rvill be
weakened.
                         .. CINCH MARKS.''
    If the film and paper loosen up a trifle when taken
from the camera, many amateurs ate likely to take
the cartridge in the hand and wind it as closely as           JF
possible, cinching it tightly with a twisting motion.
There's nothing more likely to  inj ure the' negative
than this tight drawing of the film, as it abrades the                l#
surface, making fine parallel scratches running length-
wise of the film, which in some cases' will ruin the
negative. D o not " mnch" the cortridg  e .   It simply
needs to be wound tightly euottgh so that the duplex
paper keeps inside the flarlges.

PART IV.

         DEVELOPING.
   There is no necessity of working in a dark-room
or waiting until night to develop film. It can be done
in daylight at any time and place. And the daylight           {)
method of developing film gives better results than
the dark-room way.                                                                                        I
   Film may be developed in daylight by the Kodak       *Film Tank method. Detailed directions for develop-
ing will be found in the manual which accompanies
the goods. The operation is given briefly in the
following pages.
  We recommend the Kodak trilm Tank method
particularly  f or its simpleness, and the unif ormly
good negatives which it gives.
  DEVELOPING \T/ITH A KODAK
          FILM TANK.
   For use with No. 1 Panoram-Kodak Film provide
a 2t1 inch tank. For the No. 4 Panoram-Kodak
Film provide a 3tl inch tank.
  The Koclak Film -lank consists of a wooden box,         ts
a light-proof apron, a "transferring reel", a metal
"solution cl1p" in which the film is developed, and a                                                i
hooked rod. for removing film from solution. There              .,*
is also a dummy film cartridge with which one should
experiment before using an exposed cartridge. The
various parts of the outfit come packed in the box
itself with lhe exception of the "2'l  inch". The
solution cup in this case is too large in diameter to fit
into the box.

           as a brake and will keep the apron, film and duplex
           paper taut and in the correct position.

    Noro:   In removing reel do not squeeze the apron, as by
doing so there will be a tendency for  it to buckle.
   Insert the Transferring Reel (containing apron'
duplex paper and film) itt the previously prepared de-
veloper irnmediately.
   USING THE SOLUTION CUP.
   12. Having filled Solution Cup, lower Trans-
ferring Reel into cup with end containing cross bar
up. (Fig. 3). Let reel slide down slowly so solution                                              ffwill not overflow. The operation of removing reel
from box can be done in the light of an ordinary
room, but for safety it is well that the light should not
be too bright.
   Noln:    ImmediatelY             -after lowering reel into so-
lution cup, catch  it with
the wire hook and moYe
gently up and down two or
three times, but not allow'
ing reel to come above surface of develop-
ing solution. This is to expel air bubbles'
   The total length of time for devel-
gpment is 20 minutes.
   Allow development to Proceed for
 about two minutes with the cover of
 the Solution CuP off; then Place the
 cover on the cuP, Putting lugs on
 cover into grooves and tighten cover
 down by turning it to right.                 Fig. rrr.
  Now turn the entire cup end for end and place in a
 tray or saucer to catch any slight leak  f rom the cup.
At the end of three minutes again reverse the cup, and

             thereafter reverse every three minutes until the time
           of development (20 minutes) has elapsed.
             Turning the solution cup allows the developer
           to act evenly and adds brilliancy and snap to the
              negatives.
             13. The wire hook is to be used for lifting the
              reel out of the cup.. Hook on to the cross bar in one
          end of reel. When the end of reel containing cross
           bar is at the bottom of cup, the hook is just long
           enough to catch the cross bar.$             14. When development is completed, pour out
            developer and fill cup with clear, cold water, and pour
            off three times to wash the film. When removing
            cover of solution cup, place cup in palm of hand, so
            as to obtain a firm grip on bottom of can. Then grip
              co\rer with other hand and turn slowly to left, when
            cover will loosen readily. Then remove Transferring
                   - Reel, separate film from duplex paper and place im-
           mediately in the Fixing Bath, which should be in
             readiness, prepared in accordance with directions on
           page 28.
                Norn:-For the convenience of the tourist, we can furnish
            a Flexible Rubber Tray, which is intended for fixing or wash-              ing the film. It will hold a sufficient amount of solution to fix            two twelve or ten exposure rolls of film. This tray, when not               in use, will fit over the 3rl inch Kodak Film Tank Box. See
                price list.
.ql          The film may be separated from duplex paper in
               tlre subdued light of an ordinary room if the devel-
:l          oper is thoroughly rva-"hed out.
          The operation of separating film   f rom duplex
           paper should be done over a bowl, bath tub or sink.
                     If the tank is not to be used again immediately the
           apron and tank should be washed and wiped dry. The
           apron will dry almost instantly  if immersed   f or a
         moment in hot wate.r.

            perature at which the developing powders can be dis-
             solved and even at this temperature the powder must
           be finely crushed and added slowly to the water.
                     It is best to use the normal temperature (65 de-
           grees) when possible as the use of a developer that
                 is colder than normal has a slight tendency to increase
            the contrast in a negative while the use of a devel-                                                                              Il
           oper warmer than normal slightly flattens the result-

          DEVELOPING SEVERAL ROLLS OF FILM

                Several rolls of film lnay be developed at the same
           time if the operator wishes. To do this it is neces-
           sary to have a "Duplicating Outfit" consisting of
           1 Solution cup, 1 Transferring Reel and 1 Apron for
          each additional ro11 of film to be developed. The
            extra rolls of film may then be wound on to Trans-
            ferring Reels as previously described, and immersed.
            in the Solution Cups.
