If properly placed the ground glass will be evenly harm will result if the sun shines on the ground glass and reflector, pro-vided it strikes evenly ; if the light is too strong the lens can be stoppeddown. The easel or copy-board for holding the bromide paper may be con-strucfed as shown in Figure 3 or it may be modified to suit individual needsor conditions. In cases where the window is some distance from the floor, or thewindow surface is exceedingly large, the Kodak holding frame may beplaced directly on the lower sill and the light excluded by covering thebalance of the window as previously suggested. The whole apparatus is so exceedingly simple that modifications to suitindividual requirements can easily be made. Care must be observed to keep the easel front exactly parallel with thenegative. The best negative for enlarging from is one not too dense or too weakbut with good detail in the shadow s and transparent in the high Fig. 4. 132 £^C/.yO ox BROMIDE PAPER. THE SIZE OF THE ENLARGEMENT depends upon the focus of the lens and the distance of the easel or copyboard from the negati\-e. E\en when using the Xo. 4-A Folding Kodak with its lens of S>^ inchequi\^alent focus a six times enlargement will only require a distance of fivefeet from the lens to the bromide paper, so it will be seen that only a smallspace is necessary for all ordinary requirements. THE LENS. Any lens that will make a good negative may be used for proper size (focal length) of the lens depends entirely upon the size ofthe negati\-e to be enlarged from and not at all upon the size of the enlarge-ment to be made. The lens that made the negative will be suitable for enlarging from thatnegati\e. If the lens will cover the negatixe it will make an enlargementfrom it of any size. Any Kodak lens is suitable for enlarging from nega-ti\-
