In the readings of Bennett, I really enjoyed reading about the "tri-pack system" in which he uses to describe George Eastman's Flexible or roll film. The roll film was revolutionary for the development of the camera. He states on page 133, "though principles were understood, practical problems had prevented this dream from being realized". This dream was first realized on a coated paper, but later on moved to a transparent celluloid film where it blossomed. Thus the camera and it's technological advancements would have been hindered without the development of film and plastic. Perhaps plastic deserves more credit for the camera? -Matthew Slagle | In the readings of Bennett, I really enjoyed reading about the "tri-pack system" in which he uses to describe George Eastman's Flexible or roll film.
