Joe Kelly bought<br />
live BAUERs-and then<br />
[fourteen more.Why?<br />
Mr. Kelly has been in the<br />
equipment business for twenty-five years.<br />
His comments on BAUER:<br />
Joe Kelly<br />
••\A/e bought the first<br />
five<br />
¥ ¥ bauer projectors be-<br />
.use the booth we were equipping<br />
id a low ceiling" says Mr. Kelly.<br />
The bauer U3 accepted 6.500 foot<br />
and it was an inch over five<br />
et high, with vertical reels!'<br />
Surprised<br />
"I'm a bug on image quality —<br />
id when I installed those five<br />
achines, I was surprised and imessed.<br />
Here's what happened:<br />
using the SMPTE target film as a<br />
guide. Standing inches from the<br />
screen that day, I could see a<br />
steady, highly-defined image! No<br />
weaving or breathing!'<br />
Showmanship<br />
"If a show is sequenced properly,<br />
the audience thinks more<br />
highly of that theater. Smooth intermission<br />
and show-start cycles —<br />
slow music fadeouts, the house<br />
lights fully dimmed before the picture<br />
hits the screen!'<br />
Finesse<br />
"That takes finesse" says Mr.<br />
Kelly. "There's no such thing as<br />
complete automation. But with the<br />
bauer, we can streamline all the<br />
repetitive functions — which makes<br />
the theater look good!'<br />
Reliable<br />
"Those five original machines<br />
have been going fourteen hours a<br />
day for a year now — and we've had<br />
no complaints!'<br />
Inches Away<br />
cut the aperture masks<br />
eeisely, I always tape the format<br />
intensions right on the screen,<br />
Uncanny<br />
"The bauer's degree of image<br />
registration and focus stability was<br />
uncanny" says Mr. Kelly. "So we<br />
bought fourteen more of them, for<br />
other installations. High ceilings in<br />
those — so I wasn't buying the projector<br />
for its compactness any more!<br />
Pre-packaged<br />
"The bauer comes pre-packaged<br />
as a unit, which is a big help.<br />
We don't have to do as much surgery!<br />
And I find these machines<br />
easy to adapt to our own automation<br />
systems — which definitely enhances<br />
showmanship.'<br />
