To carry out his present plan in bettering the film, Barclay faces the task of superimposing three pictures on a single frame. A triple exposure, he claims, means far too great a margin of error, and he is afraid that if he put what he wanted on celluloid, lined up the three desired simultaneous images, and fired away, that the bottom picture would be obliterated by the top two and the total...
