Toronto<\/strong>. Most film enlargers are constructed to project an image vertically downward, but not all. In this article acquisition of a Klito horizontal enlarger is discussed (Klito is a UK trademark \u00a0for Houghton products).<\/p>\n

Sometimes you are in the right place at the right time. In the March of 1987 journal, the late Larry Boccioletti relates in a “Treasure” \u00a0 column how he came to acquire a Klito horizontal enlarger.<\/p>\n

The article begins, \u00a0“Those of you who have been to my home know that I have quite a number of cameras on display. I have been collecting for some thirty years, and it all started with a most intriguing item which is still my favourite.<\/p>\n

“I was operating a studio in the 1950’s and had photographed some items to illustrate an auction booklet. When I delivered the results to the auctioneer’s place of business, we went to his back office in the warehouse to discuss the photos and layouts.<\/p>\n

“During our talk, I noticed a huge pile of what was obviously refuse in the middle of the warehouse floor. On top of the heap was a black square item with what looked like a chimney on it.<\/p>\n

“When we had completed our business, I asked the auctioneer about the black thing. He replied it was “some old photo equipment” which was going to be thrown out.”<\/p>\n

And the story continues in issue 12-5.<\/p>\n

Members in the late 1980s read this and other stories in the paper copy of issue 12-5. More recent members could read the same stories on the PHSC DVD which we delivered to all members.
