%imi MOTION PICTURE mJECTORS...<br />

... do not require oil pumps ... must be designed to use<br />

and splash lubrication for efficient<br />

operation.<br />

high-power arc lamps without<br />

light-wasting heat filters.<br />

HERE'S THE PROBLEM<br />

Modern projection demands the use of higher power ore lamps. These lamps<br />

create intense heat which causes buckling and distortion of the film. To prevent<br />

film mutilation and out-of-focus pictures, some projectors require heavy<br />

light-wasting heat filters. These filters waste most of the light added by the<br />

higher power lamps.<br />

HERE'S THE SOLUTION<br />

CENTURY projectors equipped with water-cooled apertures reduce destructive<br />

heat and increase picture brilliance.<br />

Think of this . . . CENTURY high-efficiency mechanisms, plus water-cooling<br />

and with a 90 ampere arc will put as much light on the screen as other projectors<br />

using a 180 ampere arc and heat filters!<br />

HERE'S THE RESULT<br />

• Full brilliance and sharper pictures without loss of light or<br />

wasted power.<br />

• More illumination on the largest screens.<br />

• Film distortion reduced. Focusing trouble minimized.<br />

Projectors equipped for high speed, long focal length, 4" diem. lenses.<br />

Woter cooling is optional— available on all models at slight extra cost.<br />

LUBRICATION IS OLD FASHIONED!<br />

With CENTURY you have no lubrication headaches— no dripping oil or grease<br />

to mess up equipment or film. There are no oil baths or oil pumps to leak or<br />

fail and cause bindups and frozen bearings. To end this costly trouble<br />

CENTURY uses sealed, oil-less bearings and glass-hard, high carbon-chrome<br />

steel gears.<br />

Proof of CENTURY'S simplified, high-efficiency design can be seen in the illustrations<br />

on the right. Ten gears with only two gear meshes between the<br />

shutter and the intermittent com. (Other well known projectors hove from<br />

4 to 12 such meshes and up to 23 gears).<br />

Fewer gears and shafts mean less trouble, lower maintenance, less vibration,<br />

sharper pictures . . . finer projection.<br />
