Near the end of the summer, I was asked by the publishers of Popular Science magazine to produce a visualization piece that explored the archive of their publication. PopSci has a history that spans almost 140 years, so I knew there would be plenty of material to draw from. Working with Mark Hansen, I ended up making a graphic that showed how different technical and cultural terms have come in and out of use in the magazine since it's inception.
Fa traditional chief and president of the Timber Association focused on wood works. There are several sections of the operation: reception of wood, wood processing and sales displays (Counter). The wood comes from the forests but also the UTB (government processing unit), sawmills and community forests and unknown sources. The processing is done on a per-order basis. We would like to replant our forests, but for now it is not possible. Yaoundé - Cameroon.

The Case of the Found Slide Film
We went to New Jersey for Halloween. This is were we were given an Argus camera that was recently found in a garage cleaning. It is a very solid camera, more boxy than my Kodak Signet 40. They were certainly built to last back in the day.
When we popped it open, we found a used roll of film.
“Whoa, do you think we could develop this?”
After a little research, (reading the canister, mostly), the film is ANSCOCHROME and yes, it sounds more interesting if it is in all capital letters. What we know is that it was slide film (I’m actually not sure how we figured that out). It is probably 30 years old. And that it is probably color (chrome gives it away). It has 12 photos from the past and I want them.
I brought it into Freestyle where they in turn sent it to Swan Photo Lab, who I was confident could at least diagnose what it is. If they couldn’t handle it, I knew we’d be one step closer to figuring this out.
Yesterday, I got the film back.
This is what we found out: it does not use E6 but E4 processing and they do not do it. Fair enough. It’s tungsten type film (says on the canister) and that does mean that it is color. Also on the canister: ”Only open in total darkness. Process in 80 F chemistry.” That means little of anything to me, but this may be the key to deciphering the processing/developing type.
It also caused a good laugh in the store about warming up chemicals and putting it in. ”Do you guys have any bleach? Let’s put it in that!”
A google search in store said that one of the differences between E6 and E4 processing is that a hardener is added to the process. Nowadays, slide film has a hardener added to it in manufacturing, according to Freestyle peeps. I expect that this information will be corroborated once I…
TO BE CONTINUED!
The photo shows the tools I used to hold a 2x4 against the ceiling of my garage. I was attaching 2x4s to the ceiling to make it easier to hang things and brace things (like free-standing shelves).
The picture was taken part-way through the process of pressing the board to the ceiling. I was acting alone. Based on something I saw in a magazine, and heavily influenced by my make-it-as-complicated-as-possible philosophy, the method I used was this:
1. Mark location on ceiling for the 2x4 ceiling board (hereafter referred to as "ceiling board").
2. Nail two small string cradles to the ceiling near the ends of the proposed position of the ceiling board. The ceiling board will hang temporarily in these cradles.
3. Insert one end of the ceiling board into one cradle, then the other end into the other cradle. Result: the ceiling board is hanging in the two cradles about two inches (5cm) below the ceiling.
4. Place two clamps within easy reach of each end of the ceiling board. They will be used later.
5. Grab two other boards: a pre-cut board that is almost as long as the floor-to-ceiling distance and a short board. These, clamped together, will act as temporary supports for the ceiling board. Stand on a stool under one end of the ceiling board, holding the two supports together vertically.
6. Keeping the supports pressed together, move the short board upward as far as possible, elevating the end of the ceiling board. Clamp the two supports together. RESULT: the very end of the ceiling board is pressed against the ceiling. The other end of the ceiling board is still lying in its cradle.
7. Repeat the raising process at the other end of the ceiling board. RESULT: this end of the ceiling board is now pressed against the ceiling, but the other end is still a bit loose.
8. Return to the first end of the ceiling board, loosen the clamps, repeat the raising process, and re-clamp the supports. RESULT: this end of the hanging board is tight enough against the ceiling to require no more raising.
9. Return (again) to the second end and repeat the raising process there. RESULT: the ceiling board is pressed tightly enough against the ceiling to allow drilling of pilot holes for the screws that will attach the ceiling board to the ceiling.
10. Drill holes, install screws, remove the hanging cradles and supports.
The process is tedious to say the least. But it worked: I attached four 2x4s to the ceiling in this manner. After this work was finished I realized I could have simplified this process by using my stepladders as bases for holding the 2x4s in place. One can buy devices called "third hands" (often used by carpenters and drywall installers) to hold things in place, but I am too cheap to shell out $50 for a tool that gets little use.
I am in a rare fit of industriousness in the garage. That's why I've been inactive on Flickr lately. The goal is to create a better working environment on my side of the garage and enough additional storage space that we can park my wife's Jeep in the garage again.

I have printed off the block to see where the imperfections are from the marbelling, then marked them on layout paper so I can work out the image
