"CYCON" is printed on the top in white bold letters on red ribbon-like drawing. "MFG BY / CYCON CORPORATION / LOS ANGELES" printed in smaller letters on circular yellow background below
- History Of Use
- To make contact prints: one or more negatives are placed in intimate contact with a sheet of sensitized photographic paper. The negative and the photographic paper are then placed, negative side down, onto the top transparent glass plate of the exposure box. Within the box and below the top plate is a translucent light diffuser made from frosted glass. Below the diffuser is a switch-controlled electric light source. A hinged top-cover keeps the materials in close contact and reduces or eliminates the amount of stray light allowed into the darkroom. Source: Wikipedia, Contact Print, accessed November 2017
