Description An account of the resource The Kodak Junior Six-20 is a folding film camera estimated to have been manufactured in the 1930s. To operate it, users need to use a lever that allows the lens to protrude into its taking position. Looking closely at the lens, one will find the text "No.0 KODON," referencing the specific shutter mechanism Kodak produced during that era. Furthermore, the camera features a small, rotating viewfinder located directly on top of the lens housing. For film loading, a handle is situated on the side; by lifting this handle, users can access the button that opens the camera body to install a new roll. Designed for the serious amateur in the 1930s, the Kodak Junior Six-20 offered manual controls and a high-quality medium format experience, without the need for expensive professional studio equipment. Regarding the internal mechanics, the Kodon Shutter is one of several proprietary names Kodak assigned to the shutters used in its folding camera line. This specific shutter usually offers a reliable, though simplified, range of speeds. Typically, it provides the photographer with settings of 1/25, 1/50, and 1/100 seconds, which were standard for capturing everyday scenes during that period. ID: The overall color of Kodak Junior Six-20 is black, and some of the metal connection parts are left with the color of the metal. When the Camera is folded, on the front side of it, there is a rectangular part in the middle for the lens to move out. Also, on the side of the rectangular part, there is a metal lever for opening the camera. When the Camera is opened, the lever works as the camera stand. The lens of the camera is an octagonal shape. Behind the lens, coated fabric protects the parts that can move the lens forward.

Title A name given to the resource Focal Microscope Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource S.S. Kresge Company Subject The topic of the resource Optical Instrument, Scientific Equipment, STEM Education Description An account of the resource The Focal Microscope was a house branded product from Kmart which was a rebranded product originally manufactured in Japan. The Focal Microscope from Kmart was a mass-market educational microscope sold during the mid-to-late 20th century as part of Kmart’s affordable science kit line. Designed for beginners and young students, it typically offered magnification levels around 100×–300× and came with basic tools for viewing prepared slides. Although not a professional laboratory instrument, it introduced many users to hands-on scientific observation at a low cost. Today, it’s considered a nostalgic example of accessible consumer science equipment from big-box retail stores. ID: A basic education microscope with a seafoam green colorway. The microscope was constructed with a metal base and upright arm. It has a black eyepiece tube at the top, a rotating silver nosepiece with two or three short objective lenses, and a flat black stage with metal slide clips. Below the stage is a small mirror used to reflect light upward. Also, the focusing knobs are positioned on the side of the microscope arm, roughly halfway between the eyepiece and the stage.

Title A name given to the resource Mariner’s Weather Glass Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown Subject The topic of the resource Meteorology, Navigation, Sailing, Boating, Glasswork, History Description An account of the resource A French weatherglass that uses the elevation of water to predict changes in weather. It is designed to hang off a hook attached to the wall of a boat. The hook is connected to a wooden base with a metal plate on it that explains the implications of the varying water elevations. The water levels adjust based on the humidity of the air, which changes the pressure applied to the water on both portions of the glass. Sailors would use the glass as a form of barometer to predict the weather. Description (ID): A rectangular wooden plank is attached to a wall vertically. The bottom of the plank has a small metal plate attached to it with four engraved pictures of different water elevations of the weather glass. Next to each image is a descriptor of the weather in French, English, Dutch, and German. If the water in the spout is lower than in the body, the weather is “fair”. If it has slightly more, it is “rain”. If it has much more, it’s a “storm”. If both have equal elevations, the weather is “variable”. A circular metal plate sits above the information guide and is connected to a strip of metal that goes up to the top of the plate, where the hook sits. Attached to the hook is a see-through glass container with a thin top that widens out into a thick bottom. The top of the glass is shaped into a ring to fit the hook through it. Near the bottom of the container, where it slopes back inward, a spout goes up and outward, curving toward the glass. At the end of the spout, a short portion of it curves back outward. The very bottom is shaped into a glass ball to increase the barometer's weight. Water, colored dark blue for visibility, can be seen in the container.
