Tiny Idea: Great Future
Shown in actual size, shaped like a space rocket, this little device may one day get you to the moon - or
save your life. Developed for the Space Administration for their space satellites, it is already on the moon.
This is the PFET - photosensitive, field-effect, transistor. We're mentioning it here because when we
found out about this most advanced photoelectric device, we suspected it might have a place at Century.
It did - and now it is the heart of all Century transistor sound systems, easily adaptable to present
systems, affording you and your customers a thrilling new fidelity in motion picture sound.
V > Note the several advantages of the PFBT:
• it reproduces optical sound tracks (both single and multi-channel) with a signal to noise ratio and a quality
of reproduction equal to, or better than magnetic sound tracks. (Actually, a ratio of about 90 DB, with frequencies
up to more than 40 kilocycles and Interchangeable with Century phototransistor devices previously
used.)
• It can be used on black and white film prints, color prints -and even red dye tracks-^ its color sensitivity
covers the complete light spectrum. (Studios and laboratories take note.)
• It will permit stereophonic, multi-track sound to be used in theatres with greatly reduced print cost, once
optical stereo prints are available. (NATO note.) U.j^ .
Century Sound and Projection are Better than Ever!
Investigate this new PFET device, now supplied with all Century optical
sound systems - and only Century sound systems have it!
And if you have not already done so, discover Century's superlative CINE-
FOCUS* projection. Ask any theatre owner or projectionist who has used
a CINE-FOCUS film stabilized, controlled focus projector, he will tell you,
"I have never seen film projection so good!"
In short: Make your theatre the showplace of your area - the place
customers return to again and again because the film showings are
better. Modernize with Century.
