to
the
right

Black backing from the

this
by
rubbing
with
the
ball
of
the
thumb
.
Backing and emulsion can
be
removed
from the
two
polished tracks
of
the
APERTURE PLATE and
GUIDE
by
rubbing
with
a match covered
with
a
clean
cloth
that
has been dipped
in
car-
bon tetrachloride, gasoline,
or
any
pop-
ular brand
of
dry cleaning fluid. (
Do
not
use alcohol.) Also remove any dust or
lint
around the edge
of
the rectangular aperture.
Use great care
not
to
scratch the polished surface
of
the
tracks
of
the
gate. Do
not
scrape
the
tracks
with
a metallic object.
When replacing the
PRESSURE PLATE, the
two
small slots on
the
edge opposite

must fit over the
two
pins on the APER-
TURE PLATE.
Be
sure the PRESSURE PLATE
is
seated properly.
