DESCRIPTION

Correspondance and detailed sketches between my Dad, Cleveland Hopkins, and John Deardorf, towards reconstructing my wooden 8x10 view camera severely damaged in a catastophic house fire. I later used the camera to make one of my most famous photos. Mr. Steinway calls it the best photograph ever taken of a Steinway piano.

Dear .4'. Hopkins: RE: Your letter of March 6

Listed below are the answers to your questions:

Bellows Repair: 1. Remove all loose material2. Be sure bellows is extended fully (stretched) — preferably while not in camera.3. Fasten 2x4 or equal to bench top, sticking out far enough to hold bellows ful-

ly extended. Clamp both ends to 24.

4. Figure size of material needed, plus 1" both directions.5. Draw with pencil area to be repaired, plus 1,7" all around.6. Coat ETea to be renaired with Uniroyal M6130 adhesive and lc' --=:T.-7. Cut rtl/kenent cover to fit nencil lines and coat it also l'O

adhesive. Let it dry, also. Drying time or less two hours.

APPENDIX C

PRESENT OT COMPUTER USAGE AND COSTS

A summary of FMRS operations for calendar years 1969, 1970,

and 1971 is shown in Figure C-1. The total number of jobs on

the 1108 is reducing, and the average job length is increasing.

The product of the numbers of jobs and the average annual time/job

is 14,620, 18,900, and 15,250 for 1969, 1970 and 1971 respectively.

The computer related FMRS operating cost for FY-1972 consists

of the fee of $415,000 to OEP, and the cost of the Computer Ser-

vice Center of about $200,000. The fee to OEP in FY-1973 will be

$450,000. Based on the computer hours through August 1971, the

annual cost of the OEP 1108 to OT is $1580/hour. ITS is connected

to the 1108 for approximately 1 - 1/2 hours a day, at the present

time for program development purposes. The FY-1971 cost to ITS

of 4;290 hours of time on the NOAA Computer Center at Boulder was10o

$432,261 for an hourly cost of $149. This information on the ITS

usage is from William Roberts, as is the Summary of ITS Computer

Usage in this Appendix.

All sizes have vertical swings, front and back, 30° each side of center; horizontal swings,front and back, 20° each side of center. All swings pivot at center, except back verticalwhich is hinged at bottom. Shifts are accomplished by positioning of camera bed andswings. Auxilliary sliding panel in camera front provides shift vertically independent ofcamera bellows.

All standard construction (wooden) backs except 11x14, supplied with double dividi9gboards, removable, for half or quarter sizes when desired. 8x10 and 4x5 ground glass islined ( 1/2" squares); plain glass supplied upon request. 5x7 ground glass is supplied plain;lined at small extra cost.

The revolving type backs are light tight 360° around the circle, and thus the next sizelarger camera is required to swing the negative diagonal. The 4x5 Special and 5x7cameras are the same, and either camera may use both the 4x5 or 5x7 reversible typebacks, but only the 4x5 in the revolving type. A 5x7 can be revolved on the 8x10 camera,and the 8x10 on the 11x14_by means of the Revolving Adapter.

The 4x5 Backs designated as with Graflok Fittings incorporate the 4x5 Graflok metal back,with field lens. These are especially desirable when accessories such as roll-film orPolaroid Holders are to be used in addition to cut film holders, as the ground glass panel iseasily detached and the side clamping levers hold the attachments firmly in place.

The removable double dividing boards, which are supplied as standard with the reversiblebacks (wood), are "cut-off" boards and the smaller portions of the negative are not lens-center. The Sliding Carriage Backs center the 1/2 section of the negative area, in the hori-zontal position, behind the lens, i.e. the 1/2 sections are vertical. The 8x10 to 4x5 and 8x10to 5x7 may be reversed, but this cannot be done on the smaller camera.

This sheet contains prices of all Deardorff Products. These prices and the specifications shown aresubject to change without notice. It is suggested, before bidding on contracts or making important sales,that these prices and specifications be checked with our factory. Other manufacturers prices subjectto same conditions.
