Text Appearing Before Image:
on, the great English photographer andeditor, visited America. He made many exposures on filmpacks, and developing them on his return, he wrote in his jour-nal that he had hopelessly over-exposed them all. My actino-meter told me before I had made an exposure that the actiniclight of England was, in general, twice as slow as our light inAmerica, and I had no such failure. In these notes I have in mind only the principle and not thekind of actinometer. There are several upon the market. Afriend of mine is wedded to a scheme in which Solio is histest-paper. It matters not so you test the actinic strength ofthe light. Two prints are submitted to show that with an actino-meter no extremes are too great to secure full and properexposures. Dove Cot or Wordsworths Cottage in the Lake Dis-trict of northern England, was taken in the rain, which is ausual condition there. The Cloisters of Eremite in Palermo, Sicily, were takenin sunshine so strong that the natives all use large darkgoggles. 238

AN INSTANTANEOUS FLASHLIGHT. GUSTAV DIETZ.
The automobile was first invented and perfected in Germany and France in the late 1890s. Americans quickly came to dominate the automotive industry after WWI. Throughout this initial era, the development of automotive technology was rapid. Hundreds of small manufacturers competing to gain the world's attention. Key developments included the electric ignition system, independent suspension, and four-wheel brakes. Transmissions and throttle controls were widely adopted and safety glass also made its debut. Henry Ford perfected mass-production techniques, and Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler emerged as the “Big Three” auto companies by the 1920s. Car manufacturers received enormous orders from the military during World War II, and afterward automobile production in the United States, Europe, and Japan soared.
