IL PROJECTION AND SOUND Develops a Helpful Idea In Positive Carbon Savers by CHARLES J. FLEMM fii'o Theatre, Camden, N. J. About six months ago my manager brought me a new idea in positive carbon savers, and asked me to try it out. He said I could burn carbons down to about one Inch or less. It consisted of a positive 7mm carbon holder and guide. The first I tried out had a few bugs. It was also a little on the light side, and did not work out too well. After trying it for a couple of months I suggested that he have another one made up of heavier metal. I tried the new model, and I must say it was a very big improvement. My carbon saver now works fine, and I can burn my butts or stumps down to one inch. Butts are all uniform in size. I would say it has cut down our carbon costs on positive carbons quite a bit; just how much I don't know. I do know that I do not have to throw away butts that are two or three inches long any more. I am using the carbon saver in a Peerless Magnarc lamp: our carbon combination is 7mm positive and 6mm negative. I will try to explain how it works. First the carbon guide is replaced with one that comes with the saver. After it is installed in the lamp it operates as follows: first, you set your regular carbon in the same way as if you did not have the carbon saver. This is done by striking an arc and obtaining an image on the image card. As the butt burns down to about one inch the regular carbon is being pre-heated and as the butt and saver go through the guide. ss-rs. THEATRE TELEVISION Continued from page 676 All theatre TV showings to date have been high nervous tension events insofar as the projectionists and the factory representatives have been concerned. The dials on some of the apparatus look like the instrument board of an airplane pilot's cabin and require just as much concentrated attention. In the course of time it is expected that Century Projector Corp., which will handle the sales of the Paramount apparatus, will have an experienced service organization. RCA is working in this direction, too. More new equipment is on the way. Trad Television Corp. of Asbury Park, N. J., had its first installation operating at the St. James Theatre, Asbury Park, September 12. It blacked out during the show, but was put back into action. Operators, laboratory technicians, electronics engineers and stagehands have all worked harmoniously together so far. It's a new field and they want to see it develop, but it hasn't reached the stage yet where there is anything routine about the operation. By the end of the year the projectionists may have to take courses in another new apparatus—the Eidophor system—which 20th Century-Pox intends to introduce. the saver drops down in an opening in the guide and the regular carbon falls right in place to a perfect image on the card. The regular carbon keps burning until the end of the reel. There is hardly any reflection in light that is noticeable to the audience. I find this the best carbon saver I have ever encountered. You Can't Buy A GOOD Rectifier for Less! Strong Rectifiers are the only rectifiers on itie market which are especially designed, manufactured and tested in one plant together with and Jor use with motion picture projection arc lamps. This is highly important, as efficient operation of each type and rating of arc necessitates a rectifier specifically engineered to its particular reriutrements.
