Telescope Aids Accurate P-1380
Projection Alignment
A low-cost, panoramic
telescope used by the U. S.
artillery to line up its targets
is announced by Parber
Products Co., Inc., as a
device to help projectionists
line up their machines,
pictures and screens. The
four-power telescope has
10" field vision with
360" gear reduction unit and brake mechanism
which enables an operator to sight
all angles. Equipped with lowering and
elevating sighting unit, the telescope has a
cross-hair in its optics to pinpoint focus.
This telescope, according to the manufacturers,
enables a projectionist to do accurately
these tasks: set the frame of the
picture on two or more machines, set several
aperture masks and focus the lens on
every subject. Over-all dimensions are
8x3 '2 inches.

Fire Control Units
Use New Agent
P-1381
The automatic firecontrol
systems manufactured
by Red
Come t, Inc., now
make use of a new
fire-stopping agent.
CM-7 lazeotropic
chlormethanes The
1 .
new chemical, a product
of Beall Research
k Engineering Corp.,
is
said to be more effective
than carbon tetrachloride which is
commonly used in extinguishers. Not only
does it effectively fight combustion but it
inhibits the formation of toxic carbon
monoxide or phosgene gases. CM-7 fights
fire in three pha.scs. When it comes into
contact with the fire's heat, it releases a
•flash fog." At its boiling point of 152.5
degrees P.. the bulk of the fluid is vaporized
into a penetrating, fire extinguishing
fog. The remainder vaporizes later to
leave a residual fog over the once-burning
area to prevent re-ignition. Both wall-type
and manual Red Comet extinguishers are
supplied with the new agent. Wall models
are set off automatically by means of a
heat-stimulated fuse in the base which
eventually releases a grenade of CM-7.
