  • Festschrift:Experimenting with Research: Kenneth Mees, Eastman
    Science Museum Group Journal Festschrift: experimenting with research: Kenneth Mees, Eastman Kodak and the challenges of diversification Journal ISSN number: 2054-5770 This article was written by Jeffrey Sturchio 04-08-2020 Cite as 10.15180; 201311 Research Festschrift: experimenting with research: Kenneth Mees, Eastman Kodak and the challenges of diversification Published in Spring 2020, Issue 13 Article DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/201311 Abstract Early industrial research laboratories were closely tied to the needs of business, a point that emerges strikingly in the case of Eastman Kodak, where the principles laid down by George Eastman and Kenneth Mees before the First World War continued to govern research until well after the Second World War. But industrial research is also a gamble involving decisions over which projects should be pursued and which should be dropped. Ultimately Kodak evolved a conservative management culture, one that responded sluggishly to new opportunities and failed to adapt rapidly enough to market realities. In a classic case of the ‘innovator’s dilemma’, Kodak continued to bet on its dominance in an increasingly outmoded technology, with disastrous consequences. Component DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15180/201311/001 Keywords Industrial R&D, Eastman Kodak Research Laboratories, Eastman Kodak Company, George Eastman, Charles Edward Kenneth Mees, Carl Duisberg, silver halide photography, digital photography, Xerox, Polaroid, Robert Bud Author's note This paper is based on a study undertaken in 1985 for the R&D Pioneers Conference at the Hagley Museum and Library in Wilmington, Delaware (see footnote 1), which has remained unpublished until now. I thank David Hounshell for the invitation to contribute to the conference and my fellow conferees and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania for many informative and stimulating conversations about the history of industrial research.

  • KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman Invented an Emulsion-Coating Machine Which Enabled Him to Mass- Produce Photographic Dry Plates
    KODAK MILESTONES 1879 - Eastman invented an emulsion-coating machine which enabled him to mass- produce photographic dry plates. 1880 - Eastman began commercial production of dry plates in a rented loft of a building in Rochester, N.Y. 1881 - In January, Eastman and Henry A. Strong (a family friend and buggy-whip manufacturer) formed a partnership known as the Eastman Dry Plate Company. ♦ In September, Eastman quit his job as a bank clerk to devote his full time to the business. 1883 - The Eastman Dry Plate Company completed transfer of operations to a four- story building at what is now 343 State Street, Rochester, NY, the company's worldwide headquarters. 1884 - The business was changed from a partnership to a $200,000 corporation with 14 shareowners when the Eastman Dry Plate and Film Company was formed. ♦ EASTMAN Negative Paper was introduced. ♦ Eastman and William H. Walker, an associate, invented a roll holder for negative papers. 1885 - EASTMAN American Film was introduced - the first transparent photographic "film" as we know it today. ♦ The company opened a wholesale office in London, England. 1886 - George Eastman became one of the first American industrialists to employ a full- time research scientist to aid in the commercialization of a flexible, transparent film base. 1888 - The name "Kodak" was born and the KODAK camera was placed on the market, with the slogan, "You press the button - we do the rest." This was the birth of snapshot photography, as millions of amateur picture-takers know it today. 1889 - The first commercial transparent roll film, perfected by Eastman and his research chemist, was put on the market.

    "ON LOCATION" FOR OUTDOOR WINTER MOVIES B ECAUSE of a special lubricant used in Cine-Kodak it will run as efficiently in zero In this ISSUe: weather as during warm summer months. But before you set out to film winter subjects here are a few precautions that may help you. "ON LOCATION" FOR The use of filters for general pictorial work is strongly recommended. Yellow filters OUTDOOR WINTER cut down on the blue light which is so overwhelmingly predominant in winter, particu- larly when the ground is covered with snow, and permit the more even registration of MOVIES all color tones in black and white. Filters accentuate cloud effects by reproducing sky and How to make the most o f your out- clouds more nearly as the eye sees them- gray sky and white clouds. Filters also enable door filming opportunities. your camera's lens to penetrate the haze so often encountered in winter landscapes. Do (Pages 1 and 2) not use a filter when making close-ups of individuals. Owners of 16 mm. Cine-Kodaks will find CK-1, CK-2, and CK-3 filters extremely useful TIPS ON TITLING for sky and landscape £ilming. Owners of Cine-Kodaks Eight, Models 20 or 25, should use the Z-CK-3 filter; Model 6o, the U8-CK-3 filter. Now's the time to whip summer And watch your exposure! The sunlight of winter in northern and temperate climes shots into final shape. (Page 2) is weaker than that of summer months. When there is snow on the ground to reflect light it compensates for this loss of intensity, and you can use summertime openings.
