Dallas, Gresham and Griffin demonstrated ways of developing _ roll film of various sizes, including miniature films. Several types of developing tank were available for inspection, and the manner in which, each was loaded and used was explained. Mr. Dallas stressed the importance of meticulous care when working with miniature films. Several members took the opportunity to discuss difficulties they had experienced when developing their films.
