risk of cutting the film at the wrong place.
Errors in cutting are

ILLUMINATION OF THE DARK-ROOM.
The light which is safe for WELLINGTON Anti-Screen
Plates will be found most suitable for WELLINGTON Films.
It must be remembered, however, that in developing films in the
length, they are exposed to the light for the whole time of develop-
ment. The lamp, therefore, should be turned down or moved so
that it does not shine directly on the film. This, of course, does
not apply to machine development.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF FULL LENGTHS.

When the film is to be developed in the full length,
first be removed entirely from the black paper, and should then
be soaked in clean cold water. The simplest method of doing
this is shown in the diagram. The water being placed in a dish,
