Dear Mike,

    I have just consulted my Gevaert photographic book and looked at the
diagrams for the doorless darkrooms - particularly the one that involves an
S-shaped light trap. I am afraid the house is not large enough for this but
were it so I bet  with a little practise my wife could carome meatballs and
gravy off the surfaces and I could catch them as they shot through the dark.
If this seems a little implausible, you may not have seen the sort of
meatballs my wife makes....

    Before the list nanny throws us off, let us convert this discussion to
one of genuine value. The topic of comfort in the PURE SILVER darkroom.

     I have already stated that at least one of Nature's needs may be taken
care of by sliding thin food under the door. I daresay soup could be piped
from one side of the light barrier to the other  by means of a suitable
S -bend. I am prepared to try.

    Other functions may be catered for as well. My darkroom has a sink and
an exhaust fan, and I am going to leave the discussion at that point. Before
you ask, the answer is yes, and you shouldn't ask.

    Amusement? A human need indeed. What more amusement do we need past the
conversion of an expensive box of sensitized paper into a bundle of test
prints and one crumpled ball....

    Sleep? Well, it is dark and warm in there and the old-tyme radio station
is on.

    Come to think of it I think I will head there right now.

     Uncle Dick
