Greetings!

     I have just bought an old Weston Photographic Analyzer, really
an early densitometer, model 877. I'm used to working with
modern densitometers, but this one confuses me. It's got two
modes "D" for density with the usual log readings on the meter.
Then there is an "S" switch. The machine is supposed to read
meter-candles. There's only one dial. The meter-candle dial runs
from very low, about 1.2 up to 650.

     What are these meter-candles? How are they used? What do
they measure?

     I would love to get a user book on this unit, but the Weston
Electrical Instrument Corp. is long gone. Any suggestions about
where to begin looking will be most appreciated.

                     Yours,
