NOTICE

BEFORE LOADING.
Before taking any pictures with the Vest
Pocket Autographic Kodak Spectal,
f .7.7, read
the following instructions carefully and make
yourself perfectly familiar with the instru-
ment, taking especial care to learn horv to
operate the shutter Work it for both time
and instantaneous exposures several times
before threading up the lilm.
The flrst ancl most important thing for the
amateur to bear in mirrd is that the light
which serves to impress the photographic
image upon the sensitive fiIm in a small frac-
tion of a secotrrl when it comes through the
lens, can destroy the film as quickly as it
makes the picture. -\fter the film has been
developed and all cleueloper thorou,ghtu
washectr
out, it ma1-
be quickly transferred irr
subdued white light to the fixing bath without
injury. 'Ihroughout all the operation of load-
ing and unloacling, lte extrernely careful to
keep the red paper rvound tightly around the
film to prevent the adrnission
of liEht.

The Autographic FiIm Cartridge is made
rvith a thin rcd instead of the familiar thick
rcd and black (duplex) paper. The thin red
paper is rrot light proof in itself. Betrveen it
and tbe film is inserted a strip of tissue. This
tissuc serves two purposcs: To supplemcnt
the red paper in light proofing the cartridge,
and to permit the rt'cording, by light, of the
writing upon the film.

any window. Hold Kodak in the left hand
