ORDERFILM
BY NUMBER
All Kodak Films may be distinguished by
the numbers on the ends of the cartons.
124
is the number for film for No. 3 Brownie.
116
is the number for film for the 2-A Brownie.
The number appears on both carton and
cartridge. 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.
BEFORE LOADING.
Before taking any pictures with either the No. Bor
2-A Brownie Camera read the following instruction.g
carefully, and make yourself perfecily familiar *,ith
the instrument, taking especial care to learn how to
operate the shutter. Work it for both time anct .r.
stantaneous exposures several times before threadi4g
up the flim.
The flrst and most important thing for the amateu.r
to bear in mind is that the light which serves ro im-
press the photographic image upon the sensitive f.lm
in.a small fraction of a second when it comes throush
the lens, ean destroy the film as quickly as it makes
the picture. A_fter the fi.lm has been d.eveloped and all
deoeloper thoroughly uashed out, ib may be quickly
transferred in subdued white light to the fixing bath
without injury. Throughout all the operations of
loading and unloading, be extremely c"""fol to keep
the duplex paper wound tighily around. the fllm to
prevent the admission of light.

PART 1.
Loading the Nos. 3 or Z-A Brownie
The fllm for either the No. B or p- A
Brownie Camera is pu.t up in light tight
cartridges, and the camera can, there_
fore, be loaded in daylight.

formed in a suMued light, not in the
glare of bright sunlight.

roll holder carefully
and, it will be seen
that in each for-
tvard. corner, ( just
behind. the shutter
eompartment) there
is a recess that will
just hold. a spool of
frIm.
fn the recess on
the right sid"e will
be seen an empty
spool, which is to be
used as the reel.

This will permit the spool to drop fully into the re-
eess; then push the spool pins baek into plaee so film
spool will revolve upon pins.
The wind.ing end may always be distinguished by
the small hole in the side of the roll holder.
Important.
Be sure and get the top of spool at top of rolL holder
(each spool is marked on the end.) when inserting,
otherwise your fllm N'ill eome on the wrong sid.eof
duplex paper lt'hen reeled off and. total failure will
result.
You can readily tell the top side of roll hold.er, as it
eontains the opening in the wind.ing end. through
which the key is inserted in the reel.
5. Now remove the gummed slip that holds d.own
the end. of d.uplex paper and pass d.uplex pa,per across
opening in the back of the roll hold.er (X'ig. VII), and.
thread. the duplex paper through the slot in the reel as

or three forward. turns (to the left from the key end ).
The spool may be readily turned by revolving the
flanges of the spool ntth the two thumbs.
Caution.
If you turn off too much of the duplex paper, before
the eamera is closed, the film will be uncovered. and.
ruined.

eration shown in tr*igs" I to IV and pages 5, 6 and 7.
fn reinserting the roll hold.er in the outside box, re-
member that the slotted end. of winding reel which
shows through round hole in side of roll hold.er, must
be inserteti so as to come opposite winding key in

PART II.
Making the Exposures.
Sncttorv l.-Instantaneous Exposures.
tt Shap Shots."
The shutter of No. 3 or 2-A Brownie Camera is
always set and. is operated by pushing the lever alter-
nately to right or left rvith the thumb.
If the lever stand.s at the right hand. sid.e of slot
simply push it to the left and. vice versa.
If the spring should. be pushed. the wrong way, the
shutter would. simply remain unmoved, and no "click"
would. be heard, thus indicating that it should. be
pushed. in the opposite direction.
To tako instantaneous pietures the object should. be
in the broad. open sunlight, but the camera should
not. The sun should. be behind. the back or over the
should.er of the operator.
Use the Largest Stop.
Snap shots should only be made when 'uhelargest
stop is before the lens. If a smaller stop be used., the
light will be so much reduced. that it will not suffi'
eiently impress the image on the fi.lm and failure will
result. trn making snap shots both of the slid.es shown
in Fig. II, page 16,
should be pushed down to the limi$
of motion.
X're. II.
Slid.e A controls the time and instantaneous expos-
ures. X'or snap shots this slide must be d-own.
, Slid.e B controls the stops, of which there are three.
'When it is elear down the largest stop is in place. This
is the one to use for all snap shots, except where the
suntight is unusually strong, and. there are no heavy
shad.ows, such as views on the water or in tropieal or
semi-tropical climates, when the mid'd.Ie stop may be
used.. The smallest stop must never be used. for snap
shots. (See Fig. II, Page 16.
)
Aim the camera at the objeet to be photographed'
and. Iocate the lmage in the flnder. There are two
13

6.nders, one for vertical and the other for horizontal
€xposures.
For a vertical exposure the camera should be held as
ahorn'n in X'ig I, page 12.
For a horizontal exposure the camera should. be held.
.gr,s
shown in X'ig II, Page 13.
Any object that does not show in the flnder will not
.strorv in the picture.
Fra. III.
Effect produeed by tilting camer&.
All being in readiness.
Hold the Camera Steady and Level
a^ssho'w'nin X'ig. I or II and press the shutter lever to,
one side l. ith the thumb of right hand.
Turn a New Film into Position
Turn the key slolvly to the left until the next number
appears before the rvindow.
Norn :-The warning index hand. appears only before,
No.1.
Repeat the foregoing operation for each picture.
If the operator attempts to photograph a tall build'
ing, while standing near it, by pointing the camera.
upward (thinking thereby to center it) the result wiltr.
be similar to Fig III.
