256 THE PHOTOGRAPHIC NEWS. [May 30,1862. intendent were, we know, constant in their attendance and indefatigable in their labours. The third gentleman of the Committee, whose name, we presume, was added to supply the inevitable aristocratic element, without which such affairs are supposed to be incomplete, is, we believe, guilt less of praise or blame in this matter, except so far as either may be due for non-attendance. But in regard to the hanging, we repeat, we do not see how it was possible to do much better. The task was worse than making brisks without straw. Beset on every side with applications, the Committee granted allotments for every inch of space on the walls, and then failed to satisfy all applicants. The mass of contributions sent in were to hang somewhere, not one-fourth of them could be hung on the line, or in reason ably accessible positions. As for keeping the contributions of each photographer together, that would simply have been making the matter worse. A, for instance, sends in half- a-dozen or a dozen frames, and because one of them is of sufficient excellence to occupy a central position on the best wall or screen, the remaining eleven indifferent frames are to be hung in the same place to the exclusion of the good frames belonging to B, C, D, and E, respectively. Where space permits nothing is more desirable than careful arrange ment and classification, as adding to the convenience and satisfaction of visitors as well as photographers; but where many pictures have to be hung in limited space, the only attempt at justice can consist in giving, as far as possible, the best positions to the most worthy pictures, and where many contributions are sent by one person, in aiming that at least some portion of such contributions shall, if worthy, be hung well, even if the remainder be skyed or cornered. But whatever attempt at selection might thus be made, one consideration was imperative: the pictures must be hung in such arrangement as they would best fit, and thus economise space. The result is, there is no denying it, very ugly ; very bewildering; but the Committee de serve something better than unreasoning blame for their unrequited labours, and we feel it only due to them to say, that, however unsatisfactory may be some parts, or the whole, of the Department, it arises from causes for which they are in no respect responsible. A distinct catalogue, and a distinct system of numbering in accordance with this catalogue, has now been adopted. In some instances the process by which the pictures have been produced is appended, but not in all; nor are we fur nished in every instance with the name of the subject. With such facilities, however, as we can command we shall pro ceed in our next to give some consecutive account of the contributions, which the length to which our preliminary remarks have extended, preclude us from commencing this week. REMARKS UPON SOME OF THE APPARATUS EMPLOYED IN PHOTOGRAPHY* BY F. B. WINDOW. PLATE Boxes. Before considering whether the boxes sold for stowing photographic plates, are made in the best form that could be devised, it is necessary to examine the several uses to which they are intended to be applied, and to study the different requirements of each of them. Plate boxes are used for stowing clean plates ready for imme diate use; for preserving sensitized dry plates, or in some cases partially prepared plates which have to undergo another process before being ready for the camera; and for packing away negatives. I think it will appear that the plate boxes offered to us by manufacturers, are not entirely suited to any of these purposes, though at the same time I believe it may be shown that there is no difficulty in design ing one, to fulfil the necessary conditions. It is not usual or prudent to pack away plates cleaned and * Continued from page 243. continue to neglect this trifling alteration. Fig. 25. cumbersome. , • Negatives that have not yet been varnished; that daily use, or that are not intended to be permanently F• must be temporarily stowed in plate boxes. " reasons given above, the present plate boxes suited to this end, as the rough and parallel sides a grooves inevitably scratch the edges’. This is rewlap little importance but sometimes it damages an essentiav of the picture, and as the simple expedient of makiljie sides of the grooves V shaped (tig. 25), is all that is redre to avoid the evil, it is to be regretted that manufact For. are.ntv This is frequenlll. ready to use for any considerable time before they" required, as it is rare that the polished surface of thegl will retain for long that absolute dryness and cleanlins which are in such a high degree necessary to ensure'* most perfect results. Still, it is frequently a convenien especially to the amateur, to prepare beforehand to W extent all the glasses that are likely to be needed for 0 day’s work, in which case, a plate box is the most haM receptacle. But it is necessary that no part of the sun*’ of the glass should come in contact with anything, as, ho ever harmless the touch may appear to be, it may have t* effect of producing a stain upon the negative; and tt direct contact with wood, especially those woods which h" much essential oil in their composition, should be avoidt It is well known that if a piece of perfectly clean filter paper (a cleaner thing than which it is difficult to imagine be placed for some time between two polished glasses lar”‘ than itself, an impression of it can be seen upon each ’ them by breathing upon them, and this impression wot probably be visible in negatives taken upon those glass Now the grooves in the present plate boxes are merely w cuts, as the tool left them, with parallel sides, and " surfaces of the glasses placed in them not only can touch™ wooden divisions but must of necessity remain in direct cont" with them so long as the plate continues in the box. It is t that, as the contact is only with the extreme edges of surface of the glasses, probably little harm would res" from this if the plate box were kept specially for this purpo" but if it have served previously for stowing negatives uncleaned plates, foreign matter may have got deposited" the grooves, and the glasses will be stained. The sirf remedy for this is to make the sides of the grooves V shaPS instead of parallel, when it will be impossible for any port of the surface of the plate to come in contact with them , For the permanent stowing away of negatives the pl box is both cumbersome and costly if their number be at ’ considerable. Professional photographers in this coulS mostly have cupboards with grooved shelves, suitable to size of plate they employ. The number of the negati, j scratched upon the plate itself with a diamond, anda written again upon a strip of paper laid along the edg. the shelf: so that reference to any particular negatit easy, and at the end of the day, after being used, it 18 turned to its proper groove. J A simple way for amateurs, who have not generally, many negatives to pack away to which daily access is ne” sary, is, when they are properly varnished and numbered place a piece of paper between each couple laid face to| and tie them up in parcels of say ten apiece: every P®% being labelled with the numbers of the negatives it tains, and an index made descriptive of the subject 2y | several numbers. In this way reference to any particle I negative is easy, and the method is neither expensi" Boxes tor the above purposes may be ot r uc Fuo" form with the exception named, and of the cheapo 5 epsit‘ rial, white wood being as effective as the most eP
