I'm working on a novel set in 1932 in which
one of the characters is a newspaper
photographer equipped with a Speed Graphic.

I'd like to know things like how much film
of what speed and size he'd typically have
with him on an assignment; the motions he'd
have to go through to focus, shoot, and get
ready for the next shot. Can somebody
either help me out or point me to a source
where I can find out?

Thanks,
