/Pa? .VjiiWc/ .y'c/Y.'y Concrcw than you might have it you undertook the operation yourself on a makeshift basis. If you choose, however. to process your own negatives, kits of chemicals with adequate instructions are available from many sources and. if used according to the direction* pro vided. will give you a g*-*i end result. After we have the negative, we rmi*t rc- pr*ducc its image a? a i*o?i:ivc. In most cases, this is ncct-mpli-hcd by printing the negative with incandescent iik:mt:;a:io;; a light sensitive paper which is *;:h>c;;:c::t'> developed. I'hoMgraphic paper* arc avail able from many manufacturers for a wide variety of applications. At this point, we should mention a rela tively recent camera development called th.c Ih-Iarcid I_a:*.d camera which. with.ir. tw. minutes foiiowir:: an exp-sure, will give v- t: a finished print. While th.is camera is rela tively new. the theory is tv.;. However. I)t.

There are two general types cf color mate rials: color positive, and color negative film*. Color positive films such as Kodachromc. Anscochrome. and Ektachromc. result, after processing, in a positive transparency (or slide) on the film exposed in the camera. Color negative films--K.*dacoIor is the only nc presently widely available in th.is country --result tn cokr negative* on the camera film alter processing. Color negatives can be used to make color prints or enlargements. color slide*, or black and white prints or enlargements. Color negative films are undoubtedly th.c form of the photography of th.c future. They oner full freedom of choice < f th.c end product u/.Vr th.c pictures arc made, rather than requiring this decision before th.c film is placed in the canter;*. M`lem uses of photography include more than the casual ?nap*hoi. more than the ph- :-graphic i!lu*trati*-n- for new *p:qK.r>. a:;d even nv-rc than the pretty advcrti*:ng scene. They include also pictures taken for medical research, for the industrial gaiety engineer*' record U<.k*. tot the construction engineer, and many, many other industrial fields. A* an example, in a chemical labra- :.ry. it i* necessary have a c*rr.pletc drawing of a very complicate*: glass appa ratus setup which.. s:;< tad breakage cc*.:r and th.c inventor of the apparatus nr-t *< available, an unacquainted tccnmc:an. can. make neecs-ary replacements. To make such : drawing would take endless hour? of intri cate measurement and then m*-re hour- on th.c drawing l*oard. However, th.c entire apparatus cr.n le roff,*'!c'l by means oi a -cries of photographs made in but a few minutes lime. The films used in industrial photography are the same film* used everywhere. 1 ht.*:.mcra* t:*vd arc the same camera* t:*el i:: general with a few modification* :>r rj*er:a: pur|K*ef such, a* motor drives <m mot;.n picture cameras, cxpl'-sion-pr- <>i light* :* r hazardous situation*, cr special housing* : r underwater photography. Th.c iliuminati'-n :;*cd is also similar to that with which we arc familiar a* amateur phot.-grapher-- either direct stmlight. flash bulb*, or tunesten light: and with modem availaWc-liskt film*, any kind oi light. Ail of us arc aware c: the imj-ortant par: motion picture? play in the industrial field f-iav. No doubt, those in the sales end cf industry-have utilized motion pictures more than those of us in the service organizati'ct*. However, there is definitely a place for motion pictures in service organizations. *uch as the safety department, for here i* an unlimited media which can u>ed to take some of the time consuming pr-'<ccdurc jt< r.t our indoctrination lectures: can simplify our training programs: can simplify our job study technics: can record in detail and give 16 Rubber Scetum us a permanent record oi severe emergency situation* such a* fire* or expln*ir.ns. tk-vi, and other disaster which can le studied at leisure to determine place* for improvement: jx'.ints of heroic action, and even extensive damage. To summarize, we can say that we are not attempting to make industrial photographers at of every safety engineer, but we arc attempting to outline the j-.tcntials of th.c amateur photographer for use in a way that will provide the safety engineer with :* reli able source of record for his everyday ac tivities. It will further enable him to i:ti!izc hi? time to the tulle*: advantage of thorough mvc-tigatb-n and rcj-.rtir.g of accidents large t small. It may even result in taking a .-loser look at hi* overall safety program if he kok? at it with a critical eve through a camera viewfinder. To accomplish thoc thing* we u*c the -ante camera, the same light, the same chemi cal formula, the same film to gu the same result, th.c same recorded image that we could get if we hired th.c be-t artist <-r ever: the !-c*t photographer in th.c world.

We must not lose sight of the importance of the end result. It mu*: l*e an accurate portrayal--a reliable record of the subject at the time the picture w; made. It must show what we want to demonstrate. One of the mo?: important steps in the whole photographic process is knowing what >vu want. Knowing what you want to photo* graph is the result of your engineering training and experience. Knowing how best to record the *ubjcct and center the interest of the viewer on that point is the result of a little study of rh-.tography and some prac tice. What i> photography?

Safety experts generally agree that man agement of modern industry has recog nized its responsibility for the safety of the worker, and has already provided adequate safeguards in the physical facilities of the worker*' environment. A satisfactory* com pany i* a g'rf-d place to work from the stand point c.f safety because management has seen fit to provide proper equipment, tools, plant layout, methods, processes, and pro cedure?; and all of these have been engi neered to make them as safe as it is possible to make them. We also know that this is only half the picture: good safety performance cannot rely entirely uj*on merely providing a working environment with employees' safety in mind. The principal remaining problem in safety i? the need for doing the lest possible job 17
