Dear Group,
   I have been constructing a prototype scanning enlarger here at ALPS Labs
in Atlanta, Georgia, that I will be testing very shortly (this week I
hope). It is designed to carry up to 30 inch paper, and has a glassless
negative carrier that will accommodate 35mm thru 70mm film sizes. The whole
scanning enlarger just rolls / shoves under a Beseler 4 x 5 enlarger. All
scanning movement operates from the power and drive of one motor. Variable
size enlargements can be made as normal with the movement of the enlarger
head up or down. Also any roll paper size up to 30 inches can be used. I
don't think that I will be willing to make any more of these for resale,
but for those members in good standing of IAPP, I might be willing to share
some plans.... These are alot less trouble to build yourself than an
airplane. We have worked on and off again on this one for only 2 years or
so.
   Perhaps I will add this to my lecture at the next conference if I ever
get on the program?!!! (of course if it works that is)  That would be your
call if you want to see how it works. I also built a 4,500 watt color head
for an 11 x 14 Saltzman Enlarger. I have been printing my 70mm film on it
for prints on the baseboard up to 48 inches. The head is powerful enough
for exposures of f16 at 10 seconds for a 30 x 40 inch color print. So, you
see, there is more than one way to skin a cat!
My best,
George Pearl
