Ok, here's a couple simple ones:

First, regarding the dial lamp- should the "reflector" cup the bulb sits in be shiny inside, or black painted, as mine is now?

Second, what does the "Shadow Meter" actually do, and how does it do this? It appears to be an empty tube with a coil around it that a lamp shines through.

Thanks!
Scott

PS-
Ron- Bought your book from Radio Daze today... Said they were getting low on stock, and I felt I better oughta... Can't wait to see/read it, so I can be a more fully informed Philcophile. S.
