272 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. LApril 24, 1885. Gloucester School of Sconce Philosophical Society. Photographic Section. The usual monthly meeting was held on Tuesday, the 14th inst., Mr. J. M. Collett in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, The Chairman said that the subject set down for considera tion was, the “ Best Form of Tripod Camera Stand.” Mr. F. M. Bridgewater, introducing the subject, said that he had, soon after taking up the pursuit of photography, become convinced of the desirability of obtaining a stand which it would be possible to carry without so obviously announcing to the general public the business that the bearer was abroad upon, as did the one supplied to him with his camera, and which was simply a two-fold one. Practically, the bearer of an ordinary tripod stand might as well be labelled “ Photographer,” and in an article in one of the year-books, stands of the ordinary type had been appropriately designated “The Tell-tale Legs.” Being desirous of overcoming what he considered an objection to the prevailing forms of stand, he had given some attention to the consideration of the best means of so shortening the length of the stand, when packed up, as to allow of its being placed in the receptacle in which the camera was carried. It became clear at once that there were only two possible methods of securing the desired end—viz., by multiplying the number of folds or pivots, so as to shorten them, or by some arrangement of a telescopic character. The first of these alternatives did not appear very practicable, unless accompanied by an increase in bulk and weight, which would go far to counteract its advantages in other respects. The second seemed quite feasible, and in consequence he came near doinz, in regard to a telescopic camera stand, what he had fully succeeded in doing with reference to one or two other things—viz., evolving a contrivance which had been in vented and perfected by somebody else long before. It happened, however, that just when his ideas had reached the point indi cated, he met with an advertisement of just such a stand as he had in his mind’s eye, and which had been patented. By the kindness of the patentee he was enabled to show them one of these stands. It would be observed that it was made of brass, the joints telescoping oue within the other. The height of the one then before them was, when erected, 4 feet, and the length of each of the three legs, when closed, was 12 inches. There were no loose screws or pieces of any kind, simply the three legs and the head into which they screwed. Stands were also made, so as to close into three 10-in ch lengths, with a slight addition to the diameter of the tube. The two principal requisites in a tripod stand were, he considered, rigidity and portability, and these were more perfectly secured in the stand before them than in any other he had seen. The weight of the stand was 2} lbs., while his oak sliding-leg stand, to carry a similar camera (half-plate) weighed 3} lbs. Ualh in the Studio. Photographic Society of Great Britain. — The next Monthly Technical Meeting of this Society will take place on Tuesday next, April 28th, at 8 p.m., at the Gallery, 5a, Pall Mall East, when some questions relative to the “ Chemical Re action of Alum, Tannin, and Bichromate of Potash on Gelatine,” will be discussed. Miss Mary Anderson’s Photograph.—Alexander M. Rossi, an artist, of 177, Adelaide Road, St. John’s Wood, appeared to answer two adjourned summonses, taken out by Henry Van der Weyde, of 182, Regent Street, one for infringement of the copy right of the photograph of Miss Anderson and selling copies of the same. Mr. Rain, barrister, supported the summons, and Mr. Corrie Grant, barrister, was for the defendant. Several wit nesses were now called, who said there was no likeness between the face in the photograph and the defendant’s picture. Mr. de Rutzen reserved his decision in the case. Balloon Photography.—The experiments in Paris by the Triboulet system of photographing all the country seen from a captive balloon, by opening the valve of a panoramic object-glass with a current sent from the ground, has succeeded wonderfully well. As the operators remain on the ground, a very small balloon is sufficient to carry the photographic apparatus. The impressions, being taken on films, can be inspected with a microscope, and are useful for military purposes.—Nature. Photographic Club.—The subject for discussion at the next meeting, on Wednesday, April 29th, will be on “ The Preparation of Lantern Slides.” This is a Lantern Night. Visitors invited. The Saturday Outdoor Meeting will be held at Hampstead Heath; after, meet at “Bull and Bush.” Trains from Broad Street every quarter of an hour. —o To orrespondents. *,* We cannot undertake to return rejected communications . W. T.—You have made use of sulphuric acid instead of sulphurou8 acid, and there is nothing to be done but to throw away all the developer you have prepared. It is fortunate that you did not do yourself some injury. Hypo.—Cut a print in two parts, and mount one half upon the questionable card, and the other half on a sample upon which you can depend. Now keep both side by side in a damp place, and note what happens. If you purchased the cardboaid from a general stationer, who did not know the purpose for which yon bought it, and it causes the prints to fade, you have no remedy; but if, on the other hand, you bought it from a dealer in photo graphic requisites, and it was sold expressly to be used as mounts for photographs, the dealer is responsible for their quality, and should compensate you for loss of trade and reputation. Enquirer.—1. Probably half or one-third. 2. Lambert’s register ing frames were supplied by the Autotype Company ; but we do not know whether they keep them in stock now. 3. Probably next week ; it is as you suppose. Thos. Smith.—1. There are very useful articles in Spon’s Cyclo pedia, and some other publications ; but we do not know of any special book treating exhaustively on the subject. 2. It is not what you suppose, but a true enamel; perhaps dusted on an adhe sive ground, and then fired. B. Cunningham.—They may be very conveniently made of wood, and if well varnished with a bitumenous varnish, they answer very well. The varnish may be made somewhat elastic by in corporating with it a little melted india-rubber. The rubber should be unvulcanised, and ought to be heated until it becomes viscous, like treacle. A. B. Boland.—We congratulate you on your success, thank you for your offer, and will write in a day or so. Henry Spink.—Cowell’s clearing solution is perhaps the best for the purpose:— Alum 1 part Citric acid ... 2 paits Water 10 ,, E. L.—1. We cannot ascertain for you whether the lithograph is copyright, but one may reasonably expect that it is. 2. We do not quite understand your position, but assume that you have bought a right to reproduce from some person who has no power to sell the right. 3. The prints and stamps are returned by post. A. Miller.—The suggestion is a good one, and we intend to adopt it when the proper time comes round. Alum and Water.—1. Details will be given before long. 2. Let them run on thin brass wires stretched across. C. P. G.—It may be from the use of old hyposulphite; indeed, we can suggest nothing else. J. M.—From the Silvertown India Rubber Co., 100, Cannon Street, London, E.C. J. YELDER. Will you send us a description and sketch of the ar rangement ? We shall also be glad to receive an account of your method of printing. he A9hotographit Tews. SUBSCRIPTIONS. Including Postage to any part of the United Kingdom:— Yearly ... 15s.
