At the same car show, the radiator badge was Maxwell, not Chrysler. This was the first model built by Chrysler, and was very advanced for it's time, having four wheel hydraulic brakes, a Ricardo designed cylinder head, and the comparatively high compression ratio of 5:1, gave it a top speed of 70mph. I think that this is the only example of these cars in Europe, and I imagine they are rare even in the US. Olympus AF10, f2.8/35mm Olymus lens. Polypan F in Thornton's Two bath, 5+5 mins @21C.

Seen a t a classic car show a couple of years ago, this Renault tourer still has the radiator mounted behind the engine, giving the classic smooth front, so I suppose it's from before 1928. I could not find out anything about this car, but I think it is an 18HP model. Olympus AF10, f2.8/35mm Olymus lens. Polypan F in Thornton's Two bath, 5+5 mins @21C. Scanned@2400dpi on Epson V500

Testing the strength of some old developer, I used some Foma R320. This is in divided Kodak D23, and although the film is inherantly very grainy, the effect is not so noticable as with some other developers. The tower of the church in Dun le Palestel, Creuse. This church was built between 1902 - 1908, and replaced an older church which was beyond repair. 1956 Agfa Karat IV, f2/50mm Solagon lens, x2 yellow filter.

Looking upwards to the top of Porte Saint Jean, from rue St Jacques. Much of the gatehouse we see today is from the 15thC, but the foundations date from the mid 13thC. The upper level was used as a prison in the middle ages. The buildings in rue Saint Jacques are much later - 18th/early 19th century, with Mansard roofs & stylish dormer windows. 1953 Agfa Ventura 66 Deluxe, f4.5/85mm Agfa Solinar, X2 yellow filter.

Here is another of these elaborate dovecotes, this one in a nearby village . The house to which it belongs dates from the 18thC, so I imagine this is also of the same age. Quite why they were built in such an elaborate manner is a mystery, but they are very pretty, at least I think so! I tried developing this in Thornton's two bath without agitation, - just 30 seconds gentle inversions and then let stand for 6 1/2 minutes in bath A, drain and refill with B and stand for 5 minutes. The grain is smaller, but at the price of loss of edge definition, and the negs were a little over developed,so no real gain! Mamiya RB67 with 645 back, f4.5/65mm Sekor lens.
