FILM
BY
NUMBER
All

may
be
distinguished
by
the

on
the

of the

is
the
number
for

NOTICE
The
Duplex
paper
(black
on
one
side, red
on
the other)
now
used
in Kodak
cartridges
is
superior
to
black paper
in
that
it
has
no
deleterious
effect
upon
the
keeping
qualities
of
the
film
and
absolutely
does
away
with
number
markings.
In
watching
for
numbers
through
the
red
window,
one
should
now
look
for
black
num-
bers
on
red paper,
instead
of,
as
formerly,
white
numbers
on
black paper.
Wherever
the term
"duplex
paper',
is used
in
this
manual,
reference
is
made
of
course,
to
this
black
and
red paper.

Flash Light
Pictures.
By
the introd.uction
of
Eastman X'lash
Sheets,
pic-
ture
taking at night has
been
wonderfully simplif.ed.
A
package
of flash
sheets, a
piece
of cardboard.,
a
pin
and a
match
complete
the
list of essential
extras,
although an
Eastman
8lash
Sheet
Holder is a
great
convenience.
With
flash
sheets,
no lamp
is
necessary,
there is
a
minimum
of smoke
and they are far safer than any
other
self-burning
flash medium, besides
giving
a
softer light
that is less
trying to the
eyes.
Many interiors
can be taken
with the
flash
sheets
that are impracticable
by daylight, either
by
reason
of
a
lack
of illumination
or because there
are
windows
in
a direct
line
of
viery which cannot be
d.arkened
suffi.ciently to
prevent
the blurring of
the
picture.
Evening

The Flash Sheet
The
number of sheets
required to
light a room
varies
with the
distance of the object
fart'hest
from
the
camera,
and lhe color of
'the
walls

When
two or
more sheets are to be used
they
should.
be
pinned
to the cardboard, one
above the other,
the
corners
only
very slightly
overlapping.

X'or a three
