Kodak’s done it for you-snap-on movies with the new by just pressing if button. You can also project any frame as 

cartridge-loading Kodak Ektagraphic 120 Movie Projector. 

Just snap on the new Kodak super 8 cartridge, and the 

show’s on. 

With theEktagraphic 120 Projector, there’s now a 

low-cost, portable, easy-to-use display system that makes it 

a snap for anyone to show films. Mean anything to you 

and your business? Like the fact that now your films are 

more usable by more people in more places? And the fact 

that now’s the time to consider reducing Imore of your 16mm 

films to super 8 for even wider distribution? Think about it. 

The Ektagraphic 120 Projector is rugged - cornpletely 

dependable. You can instantly repeat any part of the film 

a still picture. At the end, the film automatically rewinds back 

into the cartridge-ready to show again, right frorn the start. 

And the unique new Kodak cartridge? It’s also a snap to 

load or unload with standard super 8 reels in 50- or 100-foot 

lengths..Just snap it open. Drop in the film reel. Snap the 

cartridge closed, and it’s ready for showing. To edit or clean 

the film, simply snap open the cartridge.

AVAILABLE LIGHT AT NIGHT 

U.S. Army teams the 

ARRIFLEX 16s with Star- 

light Scope to pierce the 

cover of darkness. 

The cover of darkness, think of all the things it conceals. On the battle- 

field, it permits the enemy to prepare attack, undetected and unafraid . . . 

and on city streets, it allows criminals to move brazenly, confident that 

what cannot be seen cannot be prevented. Our security demands a means 

to penetrate the darkness, to observe and evaluate our adversaries' move- 

ments and intentions. Through the efforts of s. L. Feldman, Motion Picture 

Branch, U. S. Army Mobility Equipment Research and Development Cen- 

ter, Fort Belvoir, Va., we are now several steps closer to effective night 

motion picture documentation. 

It is difficult, even with night viewing devices to see effectively in the 

dark: to eliminate the margin of error created by the demands for a single 

man to observe, to interpret, recall and report the substance of his obser- 

vation. For the sake of objectivity and accuracy, the observations had to 

be recorded on motion picture film. But initial attempts to couple movie 

cameras with night-viewing instruments met with only mild success. Align- 

ment between camera and Starlight Scope was critical, and could be 

achieved only with great difficulty and loss of time. 

Reporting on his progress in Industrial Photography magazine, Mr. 

Feldman wrote: ". . . one of the major obstructions was overcome when 

the ideal type of motion picture camera, with reflex finder system, became 

available to our laboratory. The 16mm Arriflex Model S, with its parallax- 

free, through-the-lens viewing system and its complement of high quality 

lenses, 8-volt variable-speed motor, and small voltambloc battery capable 

of running over 1000 feet of film through the camera without recharging, 

provided the basic tool to handle the job." 

The Arriflex eyepiece becomes the viewing element of the Starlight 

Scope, eliminating the alignment problem. The operator maintains obser- 

vation as before, but with the press of a button, he is simultaneously 

recording on film the activities under scrutiny. 

Mr. Feldman concludes that further experimentation and refinement 

of hardware is necessary-in the brightness of the Starlight Scope's im- 

age, in the speed of black-and-white and color film emulsions. But the 

Arriflex has done here what it does in the countless different kinds of 

jobs it is chosen to handle-night and day, indoors and out-adapting to 

new uses, improving upon techniques that had gone before, and pro- 

ducing the finest, sharpest, steadiest image that can be recorded on 

motion picture film.

electronic method 

of altering sound tracks 

makes 66100ping” obsolete. 

If you are still making hundreds of loops 

for a single feature, then consider a fast, 

precise and economical method of altering 

sound tracks that makes “looping” obso- 

lete. 

The new Magna-Tech system electronlc- 

ally synchronizes a reel of picture with a 

reel of full-coat magnetic sound-recording 

film. Footage and frame “PRESETS” per- 

mit the recordist to select the scene to be 

“dubbed” and to fully control the advance 

and return of the film as the actor voices 

the line to be “dubbed.” 

The system Is so accurate it will even 

permit the change of a single word with- 

out danger of erasing an adjacent word. 

Electronic Looping Console 

High speed return of the film to “start” 

saves time and permits new starts without 

waiting for a “loop” to complete Its trip. 

Actors, who so often succumb to the 

rhythm of a loop, are spared this hypnotic 

interference. Acceptable “takes” can be 

stored on the 3-track film and replayed for 

final selection. 

A complete remote control system Is 

provided the director so that, once the 

recording engineer has preset footages, 

the director can take over if he wishes 

and directly control every facet of the 

record ina. 

” 

35mm Prolector 

The Electronic Looping System precludes 

the need for cutting loops and eliminates 

the need for editlng of the track. 

Complete reels of the motion picture are 

run in synchronization with the full-coat 

magnetic film on which the sound track Is 

recorded. Transfer of the best takes is 

then made to the third track of the same 

recorder. 

This track now has all of the final takes 

in sequential position and ultimately permits 

the screening of the picture and the 

final edited track in perfect synchroniration. 

From this Doint the track Is readv to 

go to a mix and no further editing Is required.

Qpollo 1 I - Lacuna 

The cooperative effort of the many firms 

nvolved in the successful Apollo 11 mis- 

;ion has been recounted in many publica- 

ions. Unfortunately, but not necessarily 

nevitably, when so many firms are involved 

)missions occur. Regrettably, in “Apollo 

11 -Television and Photography” (lour- 

ial, pp. 790-794, Sept. 1969) in the descrip 

.ion of the Westinghouse color camera 

.here was omitted a description of the 

Pngenieux zoom lens, a product of An- 

genieux Corporation of America, 440 Mer- 

rick Rd., Oceanside, NY 11572. 

The lens achieved what has been de- 

aibed as “fantastic” resolution for the 

pictures that originated from a Westing- 

house camera equipped with an An- 

pnieux 6 X 12.5B zoom lens slightly 

modified to meet space requirements. It 

had also been used on previous space 

Rights. 

With a 6:l magnification ratio, normally 

this lens has a focal length range of 

12.5mm to 75mm. Translated into angular 

fields, this means that the camera could 

vary its view from a wide angle of 54O for 

capsule interiors to a telephoto position 

Df only 9O 30’ for views of the earth from 

the moon. On previous flights the astro- 

nauts had to unmount one lens and mount 

another to change to focal lengths. This 

usually gave them a choice of two angles. 

The adapted zoom enabled the Apollo 

astronauts to “find” the earth and to 

“frame” their shots without the previous 

manipulations. The change of focal lengths 

is accomplished by the astronaut by turn- 

ing a knob around the barrel of the lens. 

The Angenieux zoom lens used on the 

Westinghouse color camera on Apollo 11 

is about 6 in in length with a maximum 

diameter of 2y2 in. It weighs 1 lb 3 02. 

A meeting on intermtianal sound stan- 

dards was held in Moscow, USSR, in May 

and an international standard of acoustic 

response for dubbing and review rooms 

was approved by the delegates for further 

study, according to a report by Petro 

Vlahos, official United States delegate, rep- 

resenting the Sound Committee of the In- 

ternational Standards Organizations. Mr. 

Vlahos is chief sdentist of the Motion 

Picture and Television Research Center 

of the Association of Motion Picture and 

Television Producers. After further study, 

the proposed standard agreed upon at the 

Moscow meeting will be submitted to a 

1970 plenary session of the IS0 for final 

approval, Mr. Vlahos reported. 

If the acoustic response standard is 

adopted, it will make film products inter- 

changeable between nations without ex- 

pensive redubbing or the acceptance of 

inferior sound quality, Mr. Vlahos pointed 

out. He said that it is highly probable 

that the standard will be adopted. Three

What makes the 

new RCA PM-85 

the world’s 

most-valued 

magnetic film 

recorder/reproducer? 


It’s just the world’s only 

no-compromise 16/35mm dual. 

No wonder this one is worth more. It delivers absolutely identical 

high-quality results with either film size. And all automatically. You 

simply pull out one of our unique interchangeable sprocket and 

head assemblies. Then plug in another. You don’t even have to 

change speed. PM-85 does it for you - with one distribution 

system. Automatic equalization, too. 

In addition, there’s RCA’s Unilogic Control for remote and 

automated operations. Standard. At no additional cost. Just like 

PM-85’s positive pad roller action. That’s so you never lose a tight 

loop in either forward or reverse, with either 16 or 35mm. No 

wonder film lasts longer. 

All that makes RCA’s new PM-85 the world’s most valued 

magnetic film reproducer. For full details, contact: RCA Film

If you’ve been working with high-wattage incan- 

descent lamps (the big, fat type), you know how fast 

their lumen output drops off. 

You know how drastically their color temperature 

drops. 

Now you can do something about it. Replace them 

with Sylvania tungsten-halogen lamps and get rid of 

the droop. 

Tungsten-halogen lamps (they uscd to be called 

quartz-iodine) don’t blacken with age, so light output 

and color temperature don’t go into a slump. The color 

temperature of our lamps is stable for the life of the 

lamp. Compare this with a drop of about 40% for 

the fat incandescents. 

This means you don’t have to bothcr with constant 

adjustments of studio lighting or camera settings. It 

means you can get constant color rendition on color 

film and save money on print correction. 

And that isn’t all. 

Tungsten-halogen lamps havc about twice the life 

of regular incandescents. They can actually outlast 

the fat ones 3-to-1 (considering that you may be forced 

to throw blackened lamps away before they’ve burned 

out). 

And just compare thc size of the lamps. 

Instcad of big, heavy glass balloons we give you slim 

lamps that are easy to store and handle. For one as- 

signment (a TV special on the Taj Mahal) we were 

able to pack all the lamps needed into two hand-karried 

cases. It would have taken half a planeload of the 

old lamps. 


fat incandescent skinny tungsten-halogen 

The old lighting changeth,yielding place to the new. 

We’ve developed a whole line of tungsten-halogen 

lamps for movie and TV studios and theaters. Wat- 

tages: 200, 500, 750, 1000, 2000, 5000 and 10,000. 

You don’t have to buy special fixtures; just plug them 

into the same ones you’re using today. 

Our lamps cost morc, but they’re worth more. 

Wc can’t say they never die, but they simply won’t 

fade away.

The beer pours and Niagara 

stops: ARRIFLEX. 35 shoots 

both “as usual” for Holland- 

Wegman Productions, Inc. 

In the age of specialization, the commercial film producer may be likened 

to the Renaissance Man-facing new situations and challenges each day. 

So it is wtih Holland-Wegman Productions of Buffalo, New York whose 

credits encompass TV commercials, industrials, documentary features, educational 

films-virtually the full spectrum of in-and-out-of-studio assignments. 

Two jobs recently completed by the firm indicate the diverse-and 

often fascinating-nature of the work handled by the commercial film 

producer. 

One included a 60-second commercial for a brewer in West Virginia. Here, 

the job required H-W crews to show a foursome relaxing on the patio, chatting 

amicably over bottles of beer. Although such a spot might easily have 

been shot on location, H-W felt it best to stay in the studio. Here, sound 

and lighting both are far more malleable in the director’s hands-both able 

to make or break the viewer’s appetite for the sponsor’s beer. 

But on another job, no studio could have housed the subject-Niagara 

Falls. H-W had been in the midst of a film concerned with the geology of 

the world famous waterfall, when a separate government sponsored geological 

survey ordered the water “turned off’ in order to investigate the land 

mass beneath. Writes H-W President, Paul Sciandra: “How lucky could we 

get? Right in the middle of our project, someone decides on this never-to-be 

forgotten and never-to-be duplicated event. At the moment the water 

stopped, revealing to the eyes of mankind the land beneath for the first 

and only time, our Arriflexes were really recording a piece of history. But 

as far as the 35’s were concerned, it was just business as usual-in, out 

and around the setting as quickly as feasible, as reliably as always.” 

Even when the action can be repeated, such as in the studio, H-W’s personnel 

approach each shot as if it were now-or-never. This professionalism 

helps explain the firm’s success with such clients as Xerox, Ford Motor, 

Marine Midland and many other national names. It also explains the company’s 

selection of Arriflex 352C cameras. Noted for their lightweight and 

compact design, they combine total mobility with the proven reliability of 

their rock-steady film movement. And with its complete accessory system, 

the same Arriflex masters equally the requirements of sound stage or 

river bed. 

But this was the thinking behind the Arriflex’s creation: to be as versatile as 

the filmmakers who consistently rely upon it.

MODEL 999 is a simplified laboratory-type printer in- 

tended for printing operations not requiring a wide 

range of special effects. It is a basic unit especially 

adaptable to Super-8mm needs. Can be ordered with 

either the standard subtractive light source or the 

Bell & Howell additive head (shown). This “bread-and- 

butter” printer has won wide acclaim in high-volume 

laboratories. Purchase and lease plans available. 

Model 1000 prints all format sizes from 70mm to 8mm 

in color or black and white. It utilizes latest design 

concepts to facilitate even .the most complicated of 

optical effects. Provides an oversize optical bench, 

variable speed motor, automatic dissolve mechanism, 

and electric skipframe programmer ‘giving unlimited 

skip - or multiple -frame combinations. 

Model 1001 combines all the features of Model 1000, 

plus an automatic zoom capable of 4x enlargement to 

5x reduction.

The SM60 cannot be stereotyped-is equally at home 

in the studio or in the field-stand-mounted or hand- 

held-in uses as diverse as outdoor sporting events 

and elaborate variety shows. Small wonder that audio 

engineers have called it one of the most versatile omni- 

directional dynamics they’ve ever encountered, for the 

SM60 is a unique combination of good looks, strength, 

performance and economy. 

The smooth, wide-range response provides cleanest, 

natural reproduction of both speech and music. A very 

effective built-in wind and “pop” filter protects against 

undesirable effects of close-talking. 

Lustrous, non-glare metallic finish and tailored-to-the- 

hand dimensions provide striking on-camera appear- 

ance and superior handability. Specially reinforced 

machined-steel case front is designed to take abuse 

that would ruin other microphones-you can drop it 

on its nose without damage to the internal structure! 

Efficient windscreen and front end are quickly and 

easily removable for cleaning. 

Best of all, it is priced competitively with conventional 

“workhorse” microphones. Why not check out an 

SM60 now? See your Shure Professional Products Dis-

The Great White Shark of the Indian 

Ocean, one of the most dangerous aea- 

tures of the sea, is being hunted by Peter 

Gimbel and his Blue Water Film Com- 

pany crew of underwater cameramen for 

a film documentary. Because of the haz- 

ards involved -the two-ton shark is one 

of the most vicious predators of the under- 

water world - communication between 

crew members working under the sea is 

of the utmost importance. To facilitate 

this communication, an advanced high- 

fidelity public address system developed 

by CBS Laboratories, a division of Colum- 

bia Broadcasting System, Inc., is used to 

provide communication between crew 

members. Heart of the system is a tiny 

uaily while machine is in operation, 

without breaking film or causing 

lower film assemblies to rise. 

Provisions for extended develop- 

ment to increase ASA indexes to

standard ASA indexes or acceler- 

ated indexes because of Filmline’s

audio projector equipped with a 200-W 

high-fidelity device capable of illuminat- 

ing a large underwater area with acoustic 

signals. It enables cameramen working in 

deep waters to hear communications sig- 

nals at a level equivalent to normal con- 

versational speech at a distance of more 

than 100 ft from the projector without 

the need of special receiving apparatus. 

The projector is suspended from the 

mother ship over the work area and driven 

from a communications center aboard the 

ship. Speech signals not only are originated 

at the shipboard control center but any 

member of the crew working below can 

broadcast over the system and every mem- 

ber of the crew can hear the broadcast. 

A wireless sonar link to a small receiv- 

ing hydrophone suspended in the water 

makes this extensive communication pos- 

sible. Each cameraman carries a small 

belt-mounted transmitter. Hi8 speech is 

picked up by a microphone mounted in 

his mask and the signal is transmitted via 

the carrier link to the receiving hydro- 

phone. It ia then demodulated by a ape- 

cially designed low-noise receiver and re- 

broadcast over the entire work area

Transportability is one of the major re- 

quirements for the equipment necessary to 

bring round-the-world and round-the- 

universe news to television viewers and two 

recent examples of news evente occurring in 

unusual environments were President 

Nixon’s globe-circling tour and Pope Paul’s 

visit to Uganda. For both these events an 

air-transportable version of the Mark IV 

color film processor manufactured by the 

Equipment Division of Jamieson Film 

Company of Dallas, TX, was used to 

process film for television broadcast by the 

major networks. 

For the Pope’s visit to Uganda, a Jamie- 

son Mark IV was transported by air from 

Rome to Kampala, Uganda, where it was 

set up in a steel-roofed hut. Films of the 

Pope’s visit were processed in the hut and 

beamed to an orbiting satellite for imme- 

diate broadcast to the world. The air- 

transportable processor has special electrical 

features to make it adaptable to the many 

power sources found in various parts of the 

world. The system includes chemical 

mixers, storage tanks, pumps and related 

equipments. 

After arriving in Uganda, the Mark IV 

was carefully checked after its flight by Carl 

Johnson (L, above), representing Jarnie- 

son’s Equipment Division. He is assisted by 

a technician from Radio Televisione 

Italiana. 

The 10th UAIDE Annual Meeting will 

be held November 3-6 in San Diego, CA: 

There will be considerable emphasis on 

computer animation and the program will 

include papers, panel discussions and work- 

shops on computer animation and related 

subjects. Further information is available 

from Dr. Donald D. Weiner, Dept. of 

Electrical Engineering, 128 Hinds Hall, 

Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY 13210. 

E. B. “Mike” McGreal has announced his 

resignation as head of Producers Service 

Corp., 1200 Grand Central Ave., Glendale,

with the firm he was responsible for the 

development of the firm’s High-speed Op- 

tical Reduction Printer which won an 

Academy Award. Prior to joining Produc- 

ers Service Corp., Mr. McGreal was head 

of all photographic departments for War- 

ner Bros. Studios. In the future he will be 

available to Producers Service for consul- 

tation, the announcement stated.

Obituaries 

Joseph E. Aiken 

Joseph E. Aiken, a Fellow and a Life Mem- 

ber of the Society, died July 16, 1969, at 

the age of 69. He was a resident of Arling- 

ton, Va. 

He was graduated from the University 

of Illinois in 1922 with the degree of 

Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineer- 

ing. Following graduation he joined West- 

inghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. 

in Pittsburgh as Radio Engineer, specializ- 

ing in audio-frequency equipment and 

operational techniques for radio broad- 

casting. In 1928 he left Westinghouse to 

join 20th Century-Fox Film Corp. in 

Beverly Hills, CA, as production sound 

ELCOM (NORTHAMPTON) LIMITED 

mixer. Between 1928 and 1943 his name 

was on the screen credits for some 80 pro- 

ductions. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1943 

and he attained the rank of Lieutenant 

Commander. He was assigned to the 

Photographic Science Laboratory at the 

U.S. Naval Air Station at Anacostia, DC, 

as assistant to the head of the Sound Re- 

cording Division. The following year he 

was made Sound Recording Division 

Officer in charge of all re-recording and 

original recording at the activity. 

His first association with the Society was 

in 1943 when he attended its technical 

conferences as a representative of the U.S. 

Navy. He became a member in 1945 and 

was made a Fellow of the Society in 1949. 

His activities in behalf of the Society in- 

cluded service on several committees, 

among them the Film Dimensions Com- 

mittee, the Samuel L. Warner Award Com- 

mittee, the Progress Committee and the 

Eastern Membership Committee. He also 

served as Eastern Vice-chairman of the 

Papers committee and, in that capacity, 

helped to assemble the papers program for 

the Society’s 64th (1948) Conference in 

Washington, DC. 

For the 72nd (1952) Conference he filled 

two full-sized jobs, those of Program Chair- 

man and of Local Arrangements Chairman. 

He was Program Chairman for the two 

succeeding Washington, DC, Conferences - 

the 75th and the 81st. 

His dedication to the aims and purposes 

of the Society was especially apparent in 

his skillful handling of these assignments, 

and particularly in the long hours of work 

resulting in the history-malcing 72nd Con- 

ference. That included arrangement for 

the presentation of 44 papers in seven ses- 

sions of an International Symposium on 

High-speed Photography assembled by 

John H. Waldell. Those papers were sub- 

sequently published and became known as 

the Proceedings of the First Znternational 

Congress on High-speed Photography. 

The traditional Monday Get-Together 

Luncheon at the 72nd Conference was 

unusual in that Mr. Aiken arranged for 

three speakers, each representing a branch 

of the U.S. Department of Defense - Major 

General George I. Back representing the 

Army, Brigadier General Brooke E. Allen 

representing the Air Force and Captain 

A. D. Fraser representing the Navy. 

The 75th Conference, with Mr. Aiken 

acting as Program Chairman, also was a 

memorable Conference which was high- 

lighted by the historic Pioneer Dinner held 

May 4, 1954, in honor of 26 members of 

the Society who were members in 1924 and 

earlier. Other highlights of the Conference 

arranged by Mr. Aiken included an even- 

ing at the National Archives and a Theater 

Session held in Loew’s Capitol Theater. 

Mr. Aiken, together with others at the 

Navy Photo Science Laboratory took part

in the development of a colophon or sym- 

bol for SMPTE. The end result came froin 

Lorin D. Grignon’s efforts working with 

students at the University of Southern Cali- 

fornia. Many tentative designs were sub- 

mitted. The one finally chosen was the 

work of Melvin L. Stewart ,then a Senior 

and commercial design student at USC 

(Journal, p. 81, Jan. 1952). It is still in use. 

He was the author of an historical paper, 

“Technical Notes and Reminiscences on 

the Presentation of Tykociner’s Sound Pic- 

ture Contributions” in the August 1958 

issue of the Journal. The paper is espe- 

cially interesting because of Mr. Aiken’s 

personal association with Prof. Tykociner 

during 1921 and 1922 while Mr. Aiken 

was attending the University of Illinois. 

For evaluation and adjustment of: 

Joseph Aiken’s technical and professional 

achievements are a matter of record. Per- 

haps not so well known is that he had 

wide interests outside motion-picture en- 

gineering. For example, he was an ardent 

Civil War buff, and an authority on rifles 

from that era. He was an expert gunsmith, 

and built his own outstanding collection 

of Civil War guns by rebuilding specimens 

for other collectors in return for examples 

he could restore for his own collection, 

which is currently valued at many thou- 

sands of dollars. He took along a fifle and 

his Civil War regiment uniform to the 

Society’s October 1955 convention in Lake 

Placid, having heard that the traditional 

banquet was to be a costume affair. It was, 

and he won first prize for the best costume:

we are to see him no more, it is comforting 

to remember what a really fine person he

Joseph Tykocinski Tykociner 

Joseph Tykocinski Tykociner, Resident 

Professor of Electrical Engineering, Erneri- 

tus, at the University of Illinois, died June 

11 at Urbana, IL. He came to the Univer- 

sity in 1921 as one of its first research pro- 

fessors in electrical engineering and, on 

June 9, 1922, he presented, at the univer- 

sity, one of the first public exhibitions of 

sound on motion-picture film. The sound- 

on-film demonstration followed about 10 

months of developmental work at the 

university (with a reported budget of less 

than $1,000). 

Prof. Tykociner was born in Poland in 

1867 (see “Joseph T. Tykociner: Pioneer 

in Sound Recording” by John B. McCul- 

lough, Journal, pp. 520-521, Aug. 1958). 

He displayed talent in the field of science 

and electronics at an early age and, de- 

spite the opposition of his father, who was 

a grain broker and wanted his son to enter 

the family business, the young Tykociner 

acquired scientific training and went on to 

become one of the pioneers whose work 

helped bring about the age of sound in 

motion pictures. 

Some of his experiments are described 

in a paper which appeared in the SMPE 

Transactions of May 1923 (pp. 90-119). 

“Photographic Recording and Photoelec- 

tric Reproduction of Sound” by J. Tyko- 

cinski-T ykociner. 

Many honors accrued to him during his 

life, among them, the Award of Merit of 

the National Electronics Conference “in 

recognition of his many significant contri- 

butions, during a career that spans half a 

century, to education and research in elec- 

trical and electronics engineering” (Jour- 

nal, p. 894, Oct. 1964). This presentation 

was the third made by NEC since the 

award was established in 1944. 

In addition to his work in the develop- 

ment of sound motion pictures, Prof. 

Tykociner held patents in submarine sig- 

naling, photoelectricity, cable testing 

piezoelectricity, techniques of radio mea- 

surements, antenna models and microwave 

development. 

Since his official retirement from the 

University in 1948, he had worked to de- 

velop zetetics, the science of research. He 

defined zetetics, a science he founded and 

developed, as “the new interdisciplinary 

science, wherein the whole of human 

knowledge is systematized as a guide to 

future investigation and creativity: its goal 

is to interrelate all that is known in the 

arts and sciences in order to discover the 

gaps in knowledge.” 

An evaluation of his work by Joseph 

Aiken appears in the August 1958 issue of 

the Journal (“Technical Notes and Rem- 

iniscences on the Presentation of Tyko- 

ciner’s Sound Picture Contributions” by 

Joseph E. Aiken). 

Mr. Aiken, whose obituary appears im- 

mediately above, was personally associated 

with Prof. Tykociner at the University of 

Illinois in 1921 and 1922.

I'he Eastman Ektachrome R Print-Film 

7389, intended for making color prints 

from originals made on Ektachrome EF 

and MS films has been introduced by 

Eastman Kodak Co. The new film, which 

will replace Ektachrome R Print Film 

7388, has the capability of producing a 

silver optical soundtrack on 16mm release 

prints. If desired, a sulfide soundtrack, 

similar to that of its predecessor, can be 

produced on 7389. The silver soundtrack 

increases the sound quality on 16mm re- 

lease prints and also increases laboratory 

efficiency in handling the film. 

The new film was announced at the So- 

ciety's 106th Technical Conference in Los 

Angeles in a 19.minute sound film presen- 

tation by G. L. Borton and R. W. Bauer, 

Kodak photographic engineers. 

The KEM &plate Universal editing table 

has been announced by Intercraft Corp., 

354 W. 45 St., New York, NY 10036. The 

firm has been appointcd sole importer and 

distributor of all Keller Elektronik Me- 

chanik products for the United States. 

Also announced is the formation of a new 

division of Intercraft Corp., called KEM 

Electronic Mechanic Corp., to sell, service 

and possibly rent all KEM editing, trans- 

fer and dubbing equipment. 

The 8-plate Universal editing table is a 

modular system. It can be used with three

Two new color films, a camera original 

and a print film for super 8 release prints, 

have been announced by Eastman Kodak 

Co. The camera film, Ektachrome Com- 

mercial Film 7252 is a low-contrast 16mm 

reversal film intended to provide 16mm 

camera originals with improved sharpness, 

increased latitude and improved process 

stability. The new film is designed for the 

ECO-3 process which is more compatible 

with the ME-4 process used for many Ek- 

tachrome films. The film will be available 

in 16mm with standard perforations and 

in lengths from 50 to 1,200 ft. 

The print film, Eastman Color Print 

Film 7381, is designed specifically for 

making super 8 and 8mm color release 

prints from original color negatives, color 

duplicate negatives or color internegatives. 

The film combines the fine-grain charac- 

teristics of its predecessor, 7380, but with 

a significant increase in printing speed. 

It will be available in 16mm widths for 

2-rank printing of super 8 films and in 

35mm width for 4-rank release printing in 

lengths from 1,200 to 2,000 ft. 

Both films were introduced at the So- 

ciety's 106th Technical Conference in Los 

Angeles. 

A hot splicer for slit or unslit super 8 film, 

called Model 816-ST, has been announced 

by Maier-Hancock Sales Co., 14106 

Ventura Blvd., Box 5135, Sherman Oaks, 

CA 91413. The unit handles A or B wind- 

ing, emulsion up or down, has two sets of 

pins and provisions for double scrape. 

Features include a built-in scraper blade, 

hardened chrome steel cutter blades and 

narrow, low-visibility splices at the frame 

line. It is priced at $299. 

pictures and one soundtrack or with two 

pictures and two soundtracks, or with one 

picture and three soundtracks and it can 

run 16mm or 35mm or any combination 

of 16mm and 35mm in sync. Picture mod- 

ules of Cinemascope or Techniscope are 

also available. A TV module can be 

dropped in place of a picture viewer for 

use with a video monitor whereby an op- 

tional framc counter could be superim- 

posed onto the scrcen or video tape. The 

8-plate editing table is priced at $8,630. 

A basic 6-plate table is priced at $6,400.

The EQUALIZER TYPE 29B has separate LF, HF, and Mid-Range Con- 

trols. This permits greater flexibility than can be obtained with equalizers 

having only two controls. The MR Control provides slopes in the 200 to 

5000 cycle range, whereas the LF, and HF Controls affect the frequencies 

above, and below. A great variety of response characteristics can be obtain- 

ed by superimposing curves. 

The Type 29B is fully transistorized and operates from a non-regulated 

nominal 160 VDC power supply. The voltage regulator in the equalizer em- 

ploys current limiting, to protect the transistors against overloads, and acci- 

dental output shorts. This approach was taken in the interest of maximum 

systemreliability, and RFI immunity. Input and output are transformer coupled. 

The console version is 7’’ high, 1%’’ wide and 10” deep. A rackmounting 

version Type 29BR, with its own power supply, has mounting dimensions of 

19” wide, 1%” high and 10” deep. 

The COMPRESSOR TYPE 31B was primarily designed as a high quality 

dialogue compressor for motion picture sound application. The use of field- 

effect transistors as variable-gain devices makes possible an excellent and 

stable “thump” performance without any need for adjustments. The “Signal 

to Thump Ratio” is in the order of 60 db. The compression range is divided 

over 18 FET’s so that the distortion in the normal range of compression never 

exceeds W%, and under severe overload remains under 2%. 

The Compressor incorporates a “ganged Ceiling Control”, a variable De- 

Essing Control, and a Release Time Control. The Ceiling Control has 10 steps, 

of 1 db per step. The ratio is fixed at 20: 10. The De-Esser provides 10 steps of 

de-essing, with the last 5 steps being very severe to make it effective even after a 

low-pass filter. The Release Time Control has a range from 25 to 250 milli- 

seconds. A special circuit feature eliminates the usual high distortion at low 

frequencies, even at the extremely fast release time of 25 ms. The end-effect is a 

compression action without the usual objectionable recovery problem. 

The compression meter is calibrated in db gain reduction. The meter action is 

such that the attack is fast, and the decay is slow. This makes it easier to per- 

ceive the peak readings. The Compressor is self powered to simplify installation. 

The Ceiling Control, the De-Essing Control, and the Compression meter can 

be renioted. Input and output are transformer coupled. The gain without com- 

pression is adjustable from 0 to 34 db. In the OFF position, the Compressor 

operates as a linear amplifier with a maximum output level of +29 dbm. 

The mounting dimensions arc 19” wide, 3%’‘ high, and 12” deep.

ity. The projector uses a 100-W quartz 

iodine lamp which is cooled by a fan that 

blows directly onto the gate aperture. The 

C-S Mark 111 is priced at $1,175. 

Three new projectors, the Fairchild/- 

Eumig 711 and two Fairchild projectors, 

the Seventy-21 and the Seventy-31, have 

been announced by Fairchild Camera and 

Instrument Corp., 221 Fairchild Ave., 

Plainview, L.I., NY 11803. It was also 

announced that the firm's 1970 line will be 

based on magnetic sound, super 8 film with 

a plus-18 image-to-sound separation. This 

format is the same as that adopted by East- 

man Kodak and Eumig of Austria. 

The 711 projector has been designed 

especially for use in the educational field. 

It is a high-intensity, front-screen pro- 

jector suitable for large audiences. The 

Seventy-21 and the Seventy-31 have been 

designed for individual and small-group 

viewing. Eastman Kodak cassette-type 

cartridges are interchangeable on the 

Fairchild/Eumig 711 and Kodak pro- 

jectors. Both of the Seventy-Series pro- 

jectors use the continuous loop MoviePak 

Seventy cartridge, a Fairchild product. 

Various educational film producers 

have announced that they will distribute 

film libraries in the magnetic sound, plus-18, 

super 8 film format, including Doubleday 

and Company, Chelsea House Publishers, 

International Film Bureau, A.C.L., and 

others. 

The 8mm projectors, including the 711, 

and cartridge systems were described by 

Lee H. Schank, of Fairchild Industrial 

Products, at the SMPTE 106th Technical 

Conference in Los Angeles.

In addressing business leaders, Roger Blough backed 

up this question with the alarming estimate of rising costs 

for higher education. “By the mid-seventies, annual expendi- 

tures will reach $30 billion, about double the 1965 figure.” 

It’s vitally important that every business evaluate invest- 

ment in higher education-and do so in light of rising costs. 

Corporate contributions that are geared to yesterday’s ex- 

penditures aren’t keeping pace with changing needs. If your 

company has not yet started an aid-to-education program, 

it’s time to get involved. 

Business needs educated people to produce money. 

Colleges need money to produce educated people. With 

tuitions covering only about ‘/3 of the soaring costs, colleges 

and universities must have more help, now. 

Write for: “How to Aid Education.” It’s a booklet for 

management-of particular interest, if your company has not 

yet established an aid-to-education program. Address : Coun-

chengeable with K frame, % frame, and streak 

prisms for freme rates up to 40.000 pps. and 

3,000” per sec. in the streak made. Uses standard 

or thin base films. Complete line of lenses and 

accessories are available. 

The “Nova” provides exceptionally sharp pictures 

because of its simple straight-through lens design, 

This provides e number of advantages over five- 

prism designs with their attendant image loss and 

extra light requirements. The Nova optical system 

Is less liable to get out of alignment. The NOVA 

design also enables the film to be stopped and 

started and acceleration is smoother.

The Model EP-8 Eidophor television pro- 

jector has been announced by TNT Com- 

munications Inc., 62-10 34th Ave., Wood- 

side, NY 11377. The projector accepts any 

standard video signal originating from a 

camera, video-tape recorder, broadcast 

tuner, etc., and projects the image onto 

front-or rear-projection screens ranging to 

theater-size dimensions. The EP-8 delivers 

a light output of 4,000 Im which, for a 

9- by 12-ft screen with a gain of 2 results 

in a highlight brightness of 74.0 fL. The 

heart of the Eidophor is the control layer. 

An image is produced electronically on a 

special oil film surface with a television 

raster scan technique. The image is then 

illuminated and projected by a separate 

high-intensity xenon light source. The 

EP-8 uses solid-state circuits in conjunc- 

tion with an advanced control-layer tech- 

nique described as “hot” image-forming 

oil based on a new oil formula operating 

above ambient temperature. The new for- 

mula is said to produce superior picture 

crispness. Prices for Model EP-8 start at 

$56,000. 

The SelectaVision, a color television tape 

player built around lasers and holography 

and designed for home use has been de- 

veloped by RCA Corp. Selectavision tapes 

are made from motion-picture films, video 

tapes, slides or photographs. For example, 

a color program originating from a color 

TV camera or color video-tape player is re- 

corded on conventional film by means of an 

electron beam recorder. This film, known 

as the color encoded master, is then de- 

veloped and converted by a laser to a series 

of holograms recorded on a plastic tape 

coated with photoresist, a material that 

hardens to varying degrees, depending on 

the intensity of the light striking it. 

The tape is then developed in a chemical 

solution that eats away the portions of the 

photoresist not hardened by the laser beam. 

The result is a “relief map” of photoresist 

whose hills and valleys and the spacing be- 

tween represent the original color TV 

program in coded form. This is called the 


hologram master. The hologram master is 

then plated with a thick coating of nickel 

and stripped away, leaving a nickel tape 

with the holograms impressed on it like a 

series of engravings. This is called the 

nickel master. 

Finally, by feeding the nickel master 

through a set of pressure rollers together 

with a transparent vinyl tape of similar 

dimensions, the holographic engravings on 

the master are impressed on the smooth 

surface of the vinyl as holographic reliefs 

and the program tape is then ready for 

home use. 

Playback of the tape requires only that 

the beam from a very low-powered laser 

pass through it into a simple TV camera 

which sees the images reconstructed by the 

laser directly, and their colors as coded 

variations in those images. The playback 

mechanism, the laser and the TV camera 

are housed in the SelectaVision player, 

which is attached to the antenna terminals 

of a standard color TV set for program 

viewing. The programs can also be viewed 

on black-and-white sets. 

A laboratory model of the SelectaVision 

has been demonstrated and commercial 

availability is expected in 1972. The 

player will probably be priced at less than 

$400; 

A solid-state electronic motion-picture 

color film analyzer (Series 200) featuring a 

180 in2 display has been introduced by 

Hazeltine Corp., Little Neck, NY 11362. 

The solid-state circuitry permits the system 

to be substantially reduced in size from 

earlier models. The system utilizes a new 

type of color flying-spot scanner tube to 

scan the film and an image is displayed for 

16mm, 35mm or 35-32mm negative or 

positive film. The color screen brightness 

simulates theater projection standards and 

the color balance is changeable for in- 

candescent or arc viewing. In operation, 

variations in light transmission are sensed 

simultaneously by three photomultiplier 

tubes, providing red, green and blue sig- 

nals for ultimate presentation on the color 

display cathode-ray tube. Simulation of 

the unwanted dye absorption characteristic 

of the print film is achieved by use of cross 

coupling matrices made possible by simul- 

taneous presentation of the red, blue and 

green signals. The direct reading color ex- 

posure controls are continuously adjust- 

able to provide a total range of 1.6 Log E 

in 64 steps each of 0.025. Calibration is 

achieved through the laboratory head test 

and the system stability is achieved by 

automatic gain stabilizing circuits. 

The Series 200 system was displayed at 

the SMPTE 106th Technical Conference 

in Los Angeles. 

A television production system, designated 

thc ETS 11-M, that can be transported in

The KB-I9A and KB-19B airborne gun/ 

strike cameras have been introduced by 

Photo-Sonics, Inc., 820 South Mariposa 

St., Burbank, CA 91506. Both cameras 

have undergone environmental testing, 

such as altitudes to 80,000 ft. The KB-19A 

features through-the-lens, variable shutter 

automatic exposure control, exposure lock 

and lock-out, variable frame rates (24, 32, 

48, 64 and 200 framea/s) and over-runs. 

The KB-19B employs an iris diaphragm 

exposure control. Both cameras employ 

the same magazine (the LB-24A) which 

contains the complete film transport 

mechanism. This intermittent pin regis- 

tered movement consists of two register 

pins and two pulldown pins to provide 

positive film control at all times. The 

magazines are interchangeable in less than 

five seconds. The system also enables the 

camera to be focused and boresighted 

without a reflex viewer or removing the 

film from the transport mechanism. The 

KB-19A is priced at $6,000. 

A Kostera-prism interferometer for mea- 

suring refractive indices and thickness 

gradicnts in both small and large optics 

has been developed at the NBS Institute 

for Basic Standards, U.S. Department of 

Commerce. The interferometer is relatively 

free from vibration problems: thermal 

gradients are reduced to a minimum by 

confining the two component beams of 

light to a small area. Scanning allows 

large specimens to be measured. The in- 

strument is based on the same principle 

that is used in the Twyman-Green inter- 

ferometer in which refractive indices and 

thickness gradient8 are calculated from two 

scts of interference fringes, one produced 

by light transmitted through the specimen 

and the other by light reflected from its 

two surfaces. However, the new instru- 

ment requires fewer adjustments and has 

the ability to evaluate large optics. 

The main components of the NBS in- 

terferometer are a light source, Kosters 

prism, mirror and three screens. The prism 

is composed of two components cemented 

together to form an approximately tri- 

angular prism (the side that forms the 

base is spherical). The prism serves as: a 

collimator lens; a beam divider for divid- 

ing the beam twice; two mirrors for de- 

flecting the transmitted and reflected 


beams to a common direction; a near- 

perfect compensator so that white light in- 

terference can be used if desired; and a 

collector lens. 

The Model 2400 photometer, which provides 

a 3-digit digital presentation with 

100~o over-ranging and BCD output, has

priced at less than $100. 

A new cylindrical lead-acid battery with 

an anticipated life of more than 30 ycars 

has been developed at Bell Telephone 

Laboratories. An unusual feature of the 

battery is that its performance improves 

with age. This is because of the use of an 

energy-producing material, a paste with a 

crystal structure designed to interlock for

added mechanical strength. The computer- 

designed grids are conical, cupped to a 

loo angle and are stacked one upon the 

other. The conical grids, which contain 

the energy-producing material, consist of 

a series of concentric rings connected by 

radial spokes. The growth of these rings 

is comtrollcd so that each increases in di- 

ameter at the same rate, keeping the dis- 

Lance bctwcen the rings constant. Since the 

distance between the rings remains con- 

stant, the rings are not separated from 

the energy-producing paste. Thus, the 

battery's original capacity, derived from 

the paste, is retained. As time goes on, 

some corrosion occurs and this increases 

the amount of the paste, which leads to 

some increase in the total capacity with 

age. 

Some four million %element electronic de- 

vices can be placed on an area about the 

size of a postage stamp by means of a 

new technique developed at Westinghouse 

Electric Corp., Box 2278, Pittsburgh, PA 

15230. The technique is based on the 

use of electron beams rather than light 

beams to fabricate miniaturized devices 

and integrated circuits and utilizes an 

imaging tube that projects electrons in 

pattcrns with finer detail than is possible 

with light projection. The tube, about 

three inches long and three inches in di- 

ameter, is surrounded by electromagnets 

which focus the elcctrons in parallel lines 

inside the tube. 

In operation, there is a series of stencil- 

like light-sensitive masks, one after the 

other, at the negative electrode, or 

cathode, of the image tube. The masks 

are the source of the elcctrons that form 

the final circuitry, with each mask con- 

tributing one aspect of it. The electrons 

are released by shining ultraviolet light 

upon the masks, which eject electrons 

along the parallcl magnetic lincs toward 

the positive electrode, or anode, of the 

tube. The anode holds a silicon wafer 

upon which the electrons form a pattern 

identical to t!ie pattern of each mask. 

Two series of low-pass filters, TLA (50 to 

1,000 MHz) and TLR (2,000 to 3,000 MHz) 

have been announced by Telonic Engi- 

neering Co., Box 277, Laguna Beach, CA 

92652. Both series of filters are of 0.05-dB 

Chebyschev design to provide sharp cut- 

off characteristics. The filters range in 

length from about 41/, in to lo!/* in and 

in weight from 4.5 oz to 7.5 oz. The price 

of all versions is $65 for each filter.

COLOR OSCILLATOR 

STANDARD 

The color standards which are now available 

to the industry show, in some cases, a certain 

degree of jitter which has proved to be 

intolerable when second and third generation 

tapes are made. Our TCS2 is free of jitter and 

has been thoroughly tested for several months 

under a variety of conditions. The stability of 

the 3.58 MHz oscillator is better than one part 

per million. Has a one-year guarantee.
