Marilyn,
This is one of the many projects on my list of 
"Projects I'd like to do before I die".
You obviously are one step ahead of me, 
since you already have the plate holder...
I hate to say this but digital may catch up to me 
before I get to do Liquid Light on glass!
Is there such a thing as Liquid Pixels on 
glass?  ...-;)
Happy day,
Guy

  Wow!  Thank you, Guy.  That sounds 
  fascinating and I'd love to try it.  Thank you for your help and 
  suggestions.

  Take Care,

  Marilyn

    Hi Marilyn,
    It would seem that you have a 4x5 
    plate-holder.
    If you go to your neighbourhood glass cutter, 
    ask him to cut plates for you.
    Get some LiquidLight and coat your glass 
    plates.
    Plan a nice composition.
    Expose with your favourite 4x5 camera at ISO 
    6.
    Process and keep as a beautiful glass negative 
    transparency!
    Regards.
Guy

      Hello Everyone,

      I hope you are all enjoying the 
      summer.

      While cleaning some 4 X 5 film holders 
      (enough of digital for now - I'm going to make some cyanotype and gum 
      prints),  I found one film holder that is different from all the rest 
      and I'm not sure what it is for.

      It is a 4 X 5 Folmer Graflex Corp item.  
      One edge states, "Graphic Plate, Pat. June 7, 1927."

      Under the film's dark slide, on each side, 
      there are frame-like inserts with a long, narrow spring on the 
      back.  One side has a piece of glass in it, the other side 
      doesn't.

      Does anyone know what I have?  

      I'd appreciate any suggestions.  Thank 
      you.

      Marilyn
