From the Archive: 8 February 1922 cover<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

100 years ago this week AP was preoccupied with the practical problems of living in hard water areas. The Reverend St John wrote of his repeated failures with the carbro process at his Herefordshire home. \u2018I had almost given up the carbro process in despair when I decided to give it a trial in Manchester, where the water is soft, with the result that I have been able to get a perfect carbro every time, provided that the bromide print used was also made in Manchester.<\/p>\n\t\t

An ad for Johnson & Sons chemicals<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Meanwhile AP\u2019s weekly columnist, The Walrus, discussed a suggested cure for another problem associated with hard water: removing scum from negatives. \u2018Some of these old photographers are a weird lot, and I am not surprised to hear that the advice was to lick the negative,\u2019 he said: \u2018I blush to confess that if anyone were to accuse me of having licked a few gross of plates in my time I should have to plead guilty and throw myself at the mercy of the court.<\/p>\n\t\t

It is a dirty trick, but a photographer cannot be fastidious. In my own case though I have never hung out my tongue for the purposes of scum removal. I wash the plate thoroughly first, and shift every trace of scum with a scrubbing brush.\u2019 So why did he lick his negs? \u2018The negative being quite clean it may be asked why I am ever so horribly vulgar as to lick it. My excuse is a poor one. I do it as the most expeditious way of removing surface water, although I always advise other people to use a piece of damp chamois leather.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t
