the
specially
designed URAN

holder
is available as a separate
accessory. The

of
this
holder
allow
the
enlargement
even
of
wet

of
the

to
the focusing plane
of
the automatic focus-
ing

so
that
the
plate
holder
may also be used
with
the
automatic

system.
To
match up
the

of
the

and
of
the
automatic

system,
project
a
test
negative upon
the
projection
board,

the

its

sition.
If
the
test
negative appears unsharp,
adjust
the

of
the

holder
by
turning
its
knurled focusing ring (a)
either
to
the

or
to

by
grasping
the

themselves.
The

of
the
