format of 18 x 18 cm. With the
Nistri cameras an OMI normal
orthoscopic reproducer is used.
This operates on a horizontal
bench. It can be used with
pictures up to 30 x 30 cm on him.
Reproductions are on 18 xl8 cm
plates. its magnification can be
varied from 1-1 to 0-46. The
lens is an OMI Orthosix 20 cm
f:6-3. A new instrument is the
Nistri Universal Telescopic Re
producer shown in Fig. 17. This
consists of two parts, a projection
camera which holds alens identical
to that with which the photograph
was originally taken, and a re
producing camera which has the
same characteristics as the optical
system which will be used in
viewing the diapositive produced.
In all the printing devices ex
posures are determined by expe
rience. Measurements of negative
temperature in one printer show
that for an ambient temperature
of 22°C a negative temperature
of 27° is reached after 10 minutes,
29° after 20 minutes, and 30° after
30 minutes exposure.

Netherlands
KLM Aerial Surveys use Ilford glossy paper and Ilford diapositive glass
plates. The paper is double weight except for certain mosaic applications where
single weight is used. A diffused light contact printer with provision for dodging
uses rubber pressure pads. Resolution tests on the printer are in progress. It
has a temperature rise of 6°C after 30 minutes of printing. Ambient temperature
is 19 to 20°C with varying humidity. Tray processing is used with occasional
sensitometric control. The Royal Dutch Shell use bromide double weight paper
and diapositive plates. Their processing procedures are similar to those of KLM.
New Zealand
Kodak white semi-matte paper is used in a printer having an inflated rubber
pressure back. Exposure is based on experience. Tray processing is used. Prints
are not ferrotyped.
