Spell-check undone?

It looks like User:Hawelka did a good job with the spell-checking of the article, a necessery work since I did write the article from the beginning and english is just a second language to me.

But, after that User:Debresser seems to have messed something up, and made Hawelkas spell-checking undone. As far as I can see, Hawelkas editing was good and I have put it back. Please correct me if I´m wrong.--Godfellow (talk) 20:33, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

skioptikon, sciopticon

In one place the article talks of a "skioptikon", in another of a "sciopticon". Which was used? (If both were, which was more widely used?) -- Hoary (talk) 00:31, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The English term is magic lantern. --LA2 (talk) 08:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dalmålning

I removed a link to sv:Dalmålning. Unfortunately I can't read Swedish, but even without an ability to read Swedish I can see that this article says very little and therefore would be likely to disappoint the would-be reader. - Hoary (talk) 00:33, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Vernacular paintings of Dalarna", perhaps? They do not have to be on walls, but can be on furniture or other objects. Without a closer look at Svärdström's dissertation, I cannot tell how he delimits his topic. --Hegvald (talk) 15:17, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(B&W) film

The article told us that:

In early days of the 20th century the photographic film wasn´t invented. Instead Lärka used photographic plates.

What?! Rather famously, Eastman had introduced its "Kodak" roll film camera in 1888, and this was certainly not the first commercial use of photographic film. -- Hoary (talk) 00:39, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

color film

The article told us that:

Lärkas colour photographs was made by crom-isolate-plates, because the color film had not yet been widely known.

The context suggests that this is about photography in 1924. This was before the introduction of three-color Kodachrome. However, two-color (!) Kodachrome film did exist.

Perhaps mistakenly, I took "crom-isolate" here as a typo (or Swedishism) for something involving "-chrome", colors; and therefore reworded this in terms of separation negatives. -- Hoary (talk) 00:44, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

holes and blenders

The article told us that Lärka's big American camera had:

separate hole blender (1:4 or 1:8)

I don't understand "hole" or "blender". (Incidentally, linked blender leads to an article about a device for preparing soup.) Is this about Waterhouse stops of f4 and f8? (If so, these sound rather fast.) -- Hoary (talk) 01:07, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It might be correct, the technic seems to be the same. I´m not sure if the diaphragm was a Waterhouse stop or a similar one. Is there a more general term for that kind a diaphragm?--Godfellow (talk) 14:22, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the swedish article. It´s a sort of diafragm which consisted of slides with holes/apertures in it. Either you changed the slide or the slide had a rotating mechanism. Since it says 1:4 or 1:8 I suppeose it wasn´t the rotating version, it looks like they had more apertures. --Godfellow (talk) 14:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I cannot read Swedish. Is this about Waterhouse stops? By "1:4 or 1:8" do you mean "f/4 or f/8"? -- Hoary (talk) 15:56, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hembygdsrörelsen

Hembygd is one of those words loaded with cultural context that are difficult to translate. It is roughly equivalent of the German heimat but with a Swedish tint rather than a German one, if that makes any sense. Hembygdsrörelsen is, generally speaking, the "hembygd movement", the movement for preserving the rural cultural heritage, usually taking the form of hembygd societies, tending their own little local history centres. On the national level, Sveriges hembygdsförbund (the Swedish Local Heritage Federation) organizes the local societies. Their English presentation speaks of hembygdsrörelsen as the Swedish "local heritage movement".[1], which seems like a good enough translation. Any additional problematization would probably be best kept in its own article. --Hegvald (talk) 14:54, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the work! "Local heritage movement" is enough, let´s hope someone writes the article about it.--Godfellow (talk) 14:26, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
