Smoke Photography. Aerial photographers at McCook Field, Ohio, gave full credit to the Eastman Kodak Co. for new "K-panchromatic" plates by which flying observers can photograph the earth through smoke screens and light fog. The plates are treated with a secret cyanide, "krypto-cyanide," sensitive to infra-red rays which, though invisible to the eye, penetrate smoke and water vapor to record an image in the camera. The significance: protection for wartime mapmakers...
There has been much experiment with cinematic pedagogy. But lately the Eastman Kodak Co. investigated these experiments and found that they were being conducted most unscientifically, inefficiently. Accordingly, the Eastman Kodak Co. last week announced that it had arranged to develop a large series of films to be used in fourth, fifth and sixth grades of grammar schools, and in junior high schools, to supplement courses in geography, health and hygiene, civics, fine and practical arts, general science. The Kodak president, able, active George Eastman, has many times manifested keen interest in educational matters, chiefly through his gifts to Massachusetts...
...sent free to ru- ral districts. This venture was found financially impracticable. The present prospect of many school children learning geography and science from "shots" of Patagonian flocks and herds, Chinese temples, the home life of the Paramecium, or of "Making Rubber in Ohio," seems excellent. The Eastman Kodak Co. is one of the largest corporations in the U. S. The National Education Association has some 161,000 members. And added to these agencies will be the huge publicity corps of Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc., Will H. Hays, president...
Perhaps, in the Kodak films on natural science, there will be glimpses of a furious, thick-maned, leaping, snarling, terrifying African lion. Last week despatches related that a companion of George Eastman, on his current expedition to the heart of the Dark Continent, had shot such a beast. If he was carrying out his own plans as announced, (TIME, Mar. 22, SCIENCE), Mr. Eastman was doubtless at the scene, cranking way at his camera from behind a bush. Mr. Eastman planned to hunt, personally, with cameras only...
...upon his 70th birthday. This time there seemed no especial occasion, unless to denote his going on a European vacation in this, his 86th* year or to mark his 63rd year with the bank, on July 25. At Rochester, N. Y., 13,269 employes of the Eastman Kodak Co., received $2,786,165 in one broad bonus-more than $200 each. At Luling, a small oil town of south central Texas, on an upper fork of the Guadalupe river, there was a wild rush to buy new automobiles. The United North & South Oil Co. of the locality had just been...
