I Some workers have tried to use the pinhole and found thfematter of exposure a stumbling block as there was, up to a few. Figure i. years ago, no definite formula by which one could calculatequickly and accurately the necessary exposure under any andall conditions of light, subject, and pinhole. Dr. H. DArcyPowers, an ardent and scientific experimenter, finally dis-covered a definite relation between the lens and pinhole, andfrom this he evolved a formula by which pinhole exposurescan be calculated with all the accuracy of lens exposures. Hehas adopted a series of holes of definite sizes which are num- 134
