This compact heliograph was developed by Supervisor David P. Godwin of the US Forest Service in 1914-1915, and manufactured by A. Leitz of San Francisco. For technical details on its construction and use, see:

There's a nice account by a forester of his use of this heliograph in Idaho in 1917 here: The Forest Service Heliograph by E. Clayton McCarty. He describes using two types. I would expect the "smaller portable heliograph" described in the 6th paragraph to be a Godwin heliograph. and the larger one with two tall tripods would have been the 1906 model US Signal Service design, an update of the original 1888 design to use a six-bladed shutter and azimuth knobs at both ends of the mirror bar.
Regarding my contention that this instrument appeared ca 1915:
In May 1914, Godwin said: "The standard heliograph instrument is an awkward article to pack and an impossible article to carry on a saddle horse, but investigations are now in progress to develop a much lighter and smaller instrument" ( hdl.handle.net/2027/mdp.39015068570095?urlappend=%3Bseq=73 )
In Fall 1915, however, it was in wide use: from: "Forest Protection and Modern Invention", de Coert Dubois, Lumber World Review, Vol. 29, p. 61, Nov. 10, 1915

"D. P. Godewin:[sic - should be "Godwin"] "We have used in California for about three years one regular standard arm heliograph instrument and finally have devised a machine which weighs only one-half of the original machine. We find that the greatest value in the use of it is to patrolmen as they can immedately[sic] get into communication with any lookout points equipped. We are using now about fifty of these."
In the Dec. 1912 Supervisors' meeting in San Francisco , Godwin described his early experiments with the heliograph: first reading about the heliograph in Graves' book on fire protection, then securing two from the District office and personally experimenting, then securing six more and stationing them on lookout points in the California NF in the summer of 1912. The results were positive, and he expressed the hope that he would be able to secure a heliograph for every patrol man for the 1913 season, so that they would always be ready to communicate with the lookouts.
These newly built dwellings at Thetford make a refreshing change from the usual mean little "traditional" modern houses, with their sub-Georgian embellishments, cubicle-like rooms and allocated parking. I know a chap who lives a few yards from here. He told me they were going for an "affordable" £120,000. Hmmm. Wouldn't mind one myself. The signboards say that one is sold and one remains for sale. Yet the website says that the agents are property management consultants acting on behalf of landlords. Can't quite work that one out.
My only complaint would be that the ground floor front is all window. This is another example ...habit dies hard... of an architect giving his "end users" what he thinks they ought to have, rather than what they actually want. We're all familiar with the dogma that interiors should be "light" and "airy" and that the inside of the house should merge with the outside. But these are abstractions. Human beings require privacy, retreat, "defensible space" and refuge from the world's scrutiny. Top-to-bottom windows might do on the garden front, but nobody wants to live in a goldfish bowl. The new owners of the three occupied houses have already had to spend a pretty penny on net curtains.

1962 "Compact" canister vacuum cleaner by Interstate Engineering Corporation of Anaheim, CA at the Alameda Point Flea Market. Came with a bunch of attachments and bags, seems to work.
Maginon CF35, cheap compact camera for 35 mm film. I have really no clue regarding the manufacturer, there is no country of production or serial number mentioned on the body. It is mainly made of plastic, but the castings are very clean, so my suspect is Premier from Taiwan.
The camera has a folding front door like the Minox 35 and the lens is really retractible. It is a 4/38 mm fixfocus lens, probably with 3 elements.
It has no exposure meter but the common symbols (cloudy, sunny and something in between). Together with the setting of the film speed (100, 200 and 400 ISO) you will get 6 f-stops in combination.
When the flash is switched on, you have to set the flash distance with the f-stop ring. So, I think the light sensor above the ring is just for underexposure warning.
Furthermore: film advance with a wheel, frame counter, tripod socket, no self-timer, 2x AA-cells for the flash.
Looks very similar to the Yashica Partner.
Think about taking the product "out of the box". This compact was removed from the box, then nestled on top of the box before foofing. This way the beautiful compact cover shows through, rather than a plain box. A little pink tulle and you're ready to go!
Camera : Olympus Trip 35 compact
Film : Cinestill 800T (Kodak Vision 3 movie film / Kodak Eastman 5219T)
Shutter Speed : 1/40th sec
F stop : f2.8
Development: Digibase C41, 3 stage home kit.
I shot this roll of Cinestill film using my classic Olympus Trip 35 compact camera. It has a f2.8 to f22, 40mm Zuiko lens, and is entirely mechanical requiring no batteries. It relies on a light sensitive element to either select 1/40th or 1/200th of a second exposure based on the film speed setting and light available.
By using this camera and taking it off “A” auto the camera is in manual and intended for the use of a flash gun. The shutter speed is set to 1/40th and you are free to choose an f stop manually based on the recommendation of the flash instructions, with Cinestill there was no flash required and the film speed setting was ignored.
I decided to do this to see what the small Zukio optics could manage in various light conditions including night time, with the fixed 1/40th sec f2.8 the exposures are entirely the down to the flexibility of the film itself.
I developed it myself using a Firstcall Photographic supplied Digibase C41 kit, and using an old Agfa Rondinax 35U daylight tank, you can see how do this yourself here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6e4Kl41OKU
I extended the development time slightly from 3m15s to 4m, with a 4m bleach stage, and 5m fix stage.
Images have been scanned with a Plustek Optic film 8100 at 3600dpi. I have never yet found any of the Plustek suggested settings for each film type to be realistic however for Cinestill the Fuji Pro films seem to offer a pleasing result.
I am only aware of one UK supplier for Cinestill which is Firstcall Photographic in Taunton, drop them a line.
Enjoy!
