Interpreter at light table

Before any prints are made, an interpreter studies the negative over a light table, and selects the prints which will give him the best information on matters of immediate interest. First phase of interpretation might be made either from a short or long study of prints, or might be made from study of the negative, this is dependent on the urgency of the need for information.
