“Index the stylus, adjust the black, turn up the whites
and /lick the cylinder engage switch.”
By following these simple instructions The Daily Collegian
began producing its own half-tone engravings this week.
By leasing its own photo-engraving machine, known as a
Scan-a-Graver, the Collegian is
able to offer its readers more
pictures of better quality at less'
cost.
"Bartleli," as the Scan-a-Gra
▼er is known to the members
of the photo staff, works on
the same principle as the auto
matic supermarket door with
an electric eye.
Only instead of opening the
door of The Daily Collegian, Bart
lett's eye traces prints and etches
the image on a sheet of clear blue
plastic. The plastic “plate” is then
mounted directly on the printing
press.
By making its own engravings,
Collegian will be able to elimin
ate its 10 p.m. picture deadline.
To Collegian readers, this means
seeing on Saturday morning the
crowning of prom queens that
were crowned at 11:00 Friday
night.
It also means that readers will
be able to see more sports pic
tures taken during the second
half of basketball games or late
intramural contests.
Tho hcan-a-Graver also en
ables Collegian photographers
to give readers a more compre
hensive coverage of events. The
cost of engravings in the past
has made more complete photo
coverage impossible.
Bartlett also offers its "masters”
—members of the Board of Ad
vanced Photographers—a chance
to learn how to make engravings
by the same process used in hun
dreds of newspapers across the
nation.
