heets known as ferrotypeplates, a special kind being made for this purpose. The printsafter washing are placed on the ferrotype plates and runthrough a suitable wringer, such as is used for laundry work,for removing the surplus wash water, and at the same timebringing the prints in intimate contact with the polished sur-face. The problem of drying a large number of prints in a 307 short time was solved by the New York Herald photographicsyndicate in the following manner: A closet was constructed which measured 14 inches deep,48 wide and 34 high. It was lined with galvanized sheetiron. The illustration (Fig. i) will give a better idea how itwas made than pages of explanation. The racks and shelveswere also made of this material. In the rear of the closetwill be noticed a bank of incandescent electric lamps. Theselamps are to warm the air which is caused to circulate bythe fan motor. The scheme is to blow warm air over theprints, causing them to dry rapidly if the doors are kept closed.
