Kit.
1. (Photography.) Also known as “inside frame.” A thin, flat, rectangular frame of wood which fits within a plate-holder for the purpose of enabling the latter to carry a sensitized plate smaller than that for which it was originally designed. There may be many of these for one holder, and they often fit one within the other, forming a “nest.” The inside corners, as is the case in the plate-holder itself, are provided with glass or hard rubber anglepieces, upon which the plate rests to prevent contact between the wood and nitrate of silver solution adhering to the wet plate, which would cause stains upon the negative. 2. (Ger. Kitt.) A cement for stuffing canvas to place over the vents of carcasses to keep out the damp. 3. A small fiddle. 4. A large bottle. 5. A milk-pail or churn. 6. The tools of a workman or outfit of a tourist. 7. A flaring-bottomed tub for fish or butter.
