Hello all...
I haven't been in a darkroom since high school, and that's nearing 40
years, so there's a lot of re-learning to do... a short series of
related questions if I may;

Could I pick your collective brains. I am disposing of an old Nova
Fibre Based Print Dryer but have been told that the older models may
contain asbestos. I was wondering if anyone had any idea if the unit
does contain asbestos. I purchased this machine in around 1993 - 1995.

I have a 4 inch B & W negative from the early 60's that I would like to
blow up and make a print out of it.  Rather than trying to find someone

Does someone have such a chart ?

How are 6x12cm negatives enlarged with a Beseler 45 enlarger? Is there a

glass-less solution.
