The Greatest Projector Achievement of All Time!<br />
RCA MOO' PROJECTOR<br />
The RCA "100" is better made on the inside, better looking<br />
on the outside, and costs less for upkeep than any<br />
other projector.<br />
The RCA "100" delivers the extra light that assures more<br />
clearly defined pictures for giant drive-in screens, as well as<br />
regular indoor theatre screens.<br />
Nylon pad rollers on the upper and lower film sprocket<br />
roller assemblies require no lubrication—eliminate the possibility<br />
of oil reaching the film from these points.<br />
Automatic lubrication—for over 11 years a feature of<br />
RCA projectors made by Brenkert— relieves all fear of<br />
mechanical Ijind-up, prolongs the life of the mechanism.<br />
Come in and see the new RCA "100".<br />
