Since we were not conveniently located for viewing this most recent eclipse, I decided to see if I could locate some pictures of mine that Sky & Telescope had published for an eclipse many, many years ago. I sent them a note with the approximate years during which I would have taken the pictures, and they came up with the appropriate issue (June 1949). The eclipse was on April 12. I had produced 52 images spread over diagonals of three 2 1/4 by 3 1/4 negatives. The shutter was snapped every 5 minutes. They sent me a copy of the two pages with the images from the middle picture spread across the bottom of two pages.
