Camera Craftsman - November/December 1956
This November-December 1956 issue announces a significant new affiliation between the National Camera Repair School and Blackwell Electronic Laboratories, Inc., enhancing research and service capabilities in photography and electronics. Under Lyman L. Blackwell's leadership, the combined laboratories will provide comprehensive testing and repair services for all types of photographic equipment, flash units, and electronically controlled cameras.
The magazine highlights Interstate Camera Service in Portland, Oregon, a model ServiShop operated by C.E. Green and demonstrating how NCRS training transforms inexperienced repairmen into skilled camera craftsmen. In the editorial section, Samuel L. Love explores a fundamental concept: that acquiring repair skills represents only half the challenge. Successful camera repair businesses must also master marketing and sales techniques to reach customers effectively.
Bud Fowler's Faculty Suggestion emphasizes the meaningful nature of the 'Camera Craftsman' title, urging students to pursue quality and craftsmanship beyond mere functionality. Features include updates on school visitors, various product announcements including a protective sponge-lined camera case and a spring wire assortment kit, as well as supply closeout offers on work benches and precision drill presses. The publication reinforces that true success comes from combining technical expertise with dedicated effort in all aspects of the business.
