The Kodak plant, mostly built around 1900, is still producing basic Kodak films and papers. They gave useful tours to visitors. The plant had its own narrow gauge railroad that connected the various buildings. We had to walk through a shallow tray of water to get our shoes clean before the tour began. I attended a meeting of the Kodak Camera Club, which consisted of Kodak employees. They were very knowledgable and it was well-attended. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
