Its real name is the Jensen 205s film-sound synchronizer-for the Nagra. But our customers call it the 

thinkronizer. Probably because it’s the easiest way to lipsync precision recordings. And the only instrument that 

can do it where no AC is available. But besides this exclusive, the thinkronizer’s priced at less than half the 

competitive unit. Which is something else to think about, isn’t it? 

The 205s: it pays to think small. 

While the thinkronizer is rugged, it‘s- 

not large or complex. Measuring a 

mere 8% x 4% x 3%” and weighing 

only 4 pounds, it won’t crowd other 

equipment off your laboratory shelf. 

But it isn’t designed to impress. Es- 

pecially not the shoulders of sound 

men who carry it, And its uncluttered 

control panel, with single, foolproof 

function selector switch won’t bewilder a visitor to your 

studio. Or a busy technician with a hundred more important 

things to think about. 

All the thinkronizer looks like is what it is ... an easyto-operate, 

all-solid-state unit that reliably does what you ask of it. Which 

can range from camera speed checks to dayin, dayout film- 

ing in the field.

The thinkronizer: your recorder’s best friend. *era U” .*nl11ll 205 S 

You might say the new Jensen 205s thinks only of the Nagra. 

It starts by acting as an AC supply and pilot signal source 

(while charging the Nagra’s nicad’s if you wish). And, if no AC 

is available, it will obligingly operate off the Nagra’s batteries, 

drawing a mere 0.08 amps and switching off automatically. 

But that’s just the beginning.. .the 205s has a host of other 

features that give it the flexibility for: 

0 sync sound transfer from tape to film 

0 sync sound transfer from tape to film with automatic 

pulsed or continuous “bloop” 

0 sync sound transfer from tape to film with automatic marker 

pencil activation 

0 shooting lip-sync sound in synchronous AC-line mode 

Camera speed checking 

s.*No.m 

There are many more features that make the thinkronizer a 

combination of quality and economy you’ll want to investigate: 

features including operation on all standard line voltages (110, 

125, 160, 220 and 240) and frequencies (50 and 60, which 

can be doubled to 100 and 120, where desired); a single, fool- 

proof function selector switch; modern, all.silicon circuitry, 

including the latest integrated circuits; and a built-in ”bloop” 

oscillator. But space doesn’t permit giving details.

Herbert T. Kalmus Gold 

Medal Award 

John M. Waner, Motion Picture Film 

Dept., Eastman Kodak Co., Hollywood, 

Calif., received the Herbert T. Kalmus 

Gold Medal Award. 

The Kalmus Award honors the recipicnt 

by recognizing outstanding contributions 

in the development of color films, pro- 

cesses, techniques or equipment useful 

in making color motion pictures for theater 

or television use. Since the award is given 

to an individual, a development or inven- 

tion in which a group participates is con- 

sidered for this award only if one person has 

contributed the basic idea or has contrib- 

uted substantially to the practical elabora- 

tion of the idea. Preferably, the work for 

which the medal is awarded shall have 

been done within five years of the date of the 

award. 

.John M. Wancr, a Fellow of the Society, 

has spcnt his career working with color 

motion picture film, and his signal contri- 

butions have been instrumental in achiev- 

ing greater quality, consistency and use- 

fulness of this medium throughout the 

motion-picture and telcvision industries. 

Waner's career started in the Research 

Division of Eastman Kodak, where he 

participated in research and development 

work on the Eastman Color System prior 

to its introduction to the motion-picture 

industry. After the introduction of Eastman 

Color to the industry, Waner transferred 

to Eastman's Hollywood office where, as 

Chief Color Consultant, he directed and 

participated in the introduction of Eastman 

Color film processing in Hollywood lab- 

oratories. 

At that time, he instituted and directed 

Eastman's inter-laboratory survey concept, 

which to this day is probably the single 

most useful tool in maintaining consistency 

and uniformity in color processing among 

laboratories throughout the world and, 

recently, in tclevision stations. As a result 

of this survey concept, color film processing 

has achieved a worldwide uniformity which 

the simpler black-and-white process never 

attainrd. 

In 1964, Waner, as Chairman of the 

with C O SM I C A R@LENSES

A member of ARTISAN INDUSTRIES family of engineering COmpanieS 


ford rrtired last June after completing 

ncarly 37 years with KCA and its predeces- 

sor companies. 

It is the purpose of this award to honor 

the recipient by recognizing outstanding 

contributions in the development of new 

techniques or equipment which have con- 

tributed to the improvement of the engineer- 

ing phases of television. 

Bedford, who holds more than 120 U.S. 

Patents, is best known for contributions to 

the principle ofmixed highs, a keystonein the 

development of color television. Although 

his most noteworthy achievements came in 

the earlier days of monochrome and color 

television, he continued research in tele- 

vision until his retirement. He is credited 

for the concept of a four-tube color camera. 

He did considerable basic work on some 

advanced sophisticated color TV cameras 

that are still under development. 

Bedford was born in Texas. He receivrd 

his Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical 

Engineering from the University of Texas 

in 1925 and his Masters Degree in Electrical 

Engineering from Union College four years 

later. He joined RCA in 1930, having 

previously been associated with the General 

Electric Company where he participated 

in the resrarch work on audio transformers, 

talking pictures, loud speakers and tele- 

vision. 

During his 37 years with KCA, Bedford 

concentrated on television research. How- 

ever, during World War 11, he worked on 

radar gun training, speech privacy systems, 

and low-level radar bombing. From 1952 to 

1955, he directed a project, for the U.S. 

Government, to develop a secret audio- 

frequency communications system he had 

invented. Redford also did some research 

at RCA on phonograph recording. But 

his chief interest was television. In addition 

to the mixed-highs principle, he is cred- 

ited with the use of the color burst for 

synchronizing color television. Earlier, he 

had developed the concept of using serrated 

vertical synchronizing pulses that would 

not interfere with the interlace of the pic- 

ture in monochrome television. 

In 1939, Bedford received the Modern 

Pioneer Award from the National Associa- 

tion of Manufacturers. He was awarded the 

Vladimir K. Zworykin prize by the IRE 

(IEEE) 15 years later. In 1959, RCA made 

him a Fellow of the David Sarnoff Research 

Center. RCA has also presented him with 

their Laboratories Achievement award for 

his concept of the “by-passed mixed highs” 

principle useful in color television. Bed- 

ford has published numeroua technical 

papers. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a 

member of Sigma Xi.

The citation reads in part: “for the 

engineering and development of a portable 

synchronous $-in. tape recording system 

of unique design resulting in exceptional 

speed stability under widely varying con- 

ditions.” 

Kudelski is a resident of Switzerland. 

Ile was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 

1929. In 1939, the Kudelski family moved 

to Hungary and then to France. In 1943, 

the family relocated in Geneva, Switzer- 

land. His formal education included studies 

at Ecole I’lorimont and Ecolc Polytech- 

niquc in Lausanne. In electronics he is 

self-taught through his experimental studies 

in his own small laboratory at home, done 

coincidently with his college studies. 

About 1948, the first magnetic recorders 

appeared commercially. Realizing the 

impact such recorders might have if per- 

fected, Kudelski initiated the idea of 

memory storage on tape as associated with 

automatic control of machine tools; how- 

ever, he decided to familiarize himself with 

all aspects of tape recording itself before 

specializing in such a sophisticated system 

of automation. 

Kudelski developed the first Nagra tape 

recorder in 1950 and in 1953 he developed 

an improved model callcd Nagra 11. He

then studied several systems for synchroniz- 

ing the camera with the tape recorder, 

finally arriving at a method whereby the 

camera generates a signal which is re- 

corded on the same tape as the sound. The 

Nagra 111 resulted from Kudelski’s studies 

on the possibility of a self-contained tape 

recorder without a centrifugal speed 

governor. ,4t present he is developing 

smaller and lighter versions of the Nagra. 

Loren Kydcr, Ryder Magnetic Salcs

at the Conference.

No matter which recorder you use, we have a 79 Series 

video tape that can bring out the best picture and sound 

your machine is capable of providing. That’s because each 

tape in our 79 Series has been specifically designed for a 

different type of helical scan recorder. Each has its 

own formulation, its own configuration. 

Memorex precision video tape will perform on your recorder 

with fewer dropouts than any other video tape. It remains 

picture-perfect long after other tapes have failed. It offers 

an unusually long still-frame life. What’s more, its special 

formulation guarantees it won’t stickand get out of sync. 

And its special binder eliminates the problem of flake-off 

and head-clogging, while keeping head-wear low. 

If this sounds like the tape you’ve been looking for, send 

us this coupon. Or contact the Memorex distributor 

nearest you. He can tell you all about our 79 Series 

video tape, the best tape you can put on your recorder. 

And he can fill your orders from his local stock now.

Papers Program 

Hans C. Wohlrab, the Conference Pro- 

gram Chairman, was primarily responsible 

for the superlative quality of the papers 

program. He, along with his individual 

topic chairmen, put together a program 

that was praised for its interest, high tcch- 

nical content, and comprehensiveness. 

The contributions and support of the 

SMPTE Papers Committee Chairman, 

Allan Williams, Eastman Kodak Co., 

Rochester, N.Y., were basic for the succcss 

of the papers program. 

The program chairman has a job that is 

demanding and time consuming. He must 

start months in advance planning his 

sessions and with the aid of his topic chair- 

men, solicit papcrs. The job is tnormous. 

Not only did Wohlrab do a superb job as 

program chairman, hc wcnt bcyond what is 

normally expected. He assumed the re- 

sponsibilitics for International Papers and 

Short Films Subjects. He read the papers 

of those who could not prcscnt thcir papcrs 

in person; and also presented a paper of 

his own. 

Assisting Wohlrab as topic chairmen 

were :

SONY 

SO 1 I D-S TAT E C 3 7-FET 

CONDENSER MICROPHONE 

the World’s Finest 

Professional Microphone 

NOW PACKS ITS 

OWN POWER 

The new Sony Solid-state C37-FET Con- 

denser Microphone is designed to give you 

the ultimate in professional capabilities 

wherever you may need them. A revolu- 

tionary Field Effect Transistor (F E T ) 

replaces the conventional vacuum tube, 

eliminating the external power supply and 

bulky connecting cables. Power is now 

supplied by a built-in replaceable 9-volt 

battery, delivering 300 hours of contin- 

uous power. 

The C37-FET retains all the warm, natural 

quality, the unbelievable flat frequency 

response free of resonant peaks and dips- 

so characteristic of its illustrious predeces- 

sor the world-famous C-37. Musicians, 

conductors, soloists and sound engineers 

prefer the C37-FET for its wide dynamic 

range which captures the splendor of 

choral groups ... for its faithful flat repro- 

duction of high, middle and low registers 

to capture the magnificence and true timbre 

of strings, woodwinds and piano. 

Add to this the outstanding signal-to-noise 

ratio specifications, unusually high front to 

back rejection of cardioid pattern, a built-in 

battery that delivers up to 300 hours of 

continuous power, and you have a micro- 

phone whose performance is unparalleled 

whether in the studio or on location.

Sylvania Wins SMPTE Exhibit Award 

At the recent 102nd SMPTE Conference 

in Chicago, Sylvania Electric Products, 

Inc. was selected as the exhibitor with the 

best display in the Equipment Exhibit. 

Among the nearly 80 booths in an Equip- 

ment Exhibit of quite outstanding quality 

the choice was, indeed, a difficult one since 

there were many that were prominent in 

interest and appearance. The final deci- 

sion of the Exhibit Award Committee in 

favor of the Sylvania booth was based on its 

attractive arrangement, the effective use of 

space and color and the excellent way in 

which it was calculated to present the com- 

pany’s products, emphasizing the impor- 

tance of the present transition from black- 

and-white to color in lighting for television. 

In order to point out the role of tungsten- 

halogen lamps in the conversion from black- 

and-white to color television, the Sylvania 

booth made use of an attractive young lady 

who smoothly and competently performed

BRIEFS 

WE’VE MADE 

THE GREAT ONES 

EVEN GREATER. 

GAF Transflo@ Processors. These great, 

completely automatic dry-to-dry black 

and white film and print processors 

have been improved in several impor- 

tant ways. For example: they now have 

plastic applicators with a distribution 

manifold inside the applicator. This 

gives you improved processing uni- 

formity job after job. 

Other GAF Transflo improvements in- 

clude-1. One piece molded plastic solu- 

tion tanks with special fittings to pro- 

vide flexibility in changing solution and 

wash tank arrangements. 2. Magneti- 

cally coupled solution pumps that elim- 

inate leaky rotating seals. 3. A unique 

new digital speed control system;speed 

is virtually unaffected by changes in 

line voltage or machine load. 4. Stain- 

less steel rollers and top covers make 

maintenance easier than ever. 

For more information on the improve- 

ments in The Great Ones, and on how 

they can help you turn out more work 

in less time, more economically, write 

for Bulletin 7519-150. 

WE’VE FIXED OUR FIXER. 

ShurfixB. We’ve made it non-corrosive. 

Shurfix Type 11, the improved version, 

eliminates the equipment maintenance 

problems caused by corrosive fixers. Of 

course, we’ve kept all the desirable fix- 

ing qualities that have made Shurfix so 

popular with professionals: Shurfix 

Type I1 is fast working, has extra long 

life, and can be used in trays, tanks, or 

processing machines. For more infor- 

mation on Shurfix Type 11, the fixed-up 

version of our old reliable Shurfix,

SECRETS BEHIND 

SUCCESS OF FAMOUS FILM 

PERSONALITY REVEALED! 

Why does Anscochrome@ 16mm Dupli- 

cating Film Type 2470 produce dupli- 

cates so like the original, it’s hard to 

distinguish one from the other? One 

reason- the characteristic curve con- 

formity of 2470 that permits accurate 

color duplication. But that isn’t all. The 

image characteristics of a duplicate 

made from Type 2470 color reversal 

film-sharpness, fine grain, high maxi- 

mum density, clean highlights, satu- 

rated colors-also contribute to its 

continuing appeal with the photo pro- 

fession. 

Of course, the quality of a duplicate 

depends on the quality of the original. 

And for fine originals, we recommend 

the Ansco family of fine films. For ex- 

ample: Anscochrome@ T/100, the fast 

tungsten color reversal film balanced 

for 3200K lighting and noted for accu- 

rate color reproduction through the en- 

tire spectrum. For more information on 

these two fine films, write for Bulletin 

7519-141. 

NEW RECORDING PAPER 

MAKES COMPLEX 

OSCILLOGRAMS 

EASY TO READ. 

Because you read the traces in color! 

Colortrace@ oscillograph recording pa- 

per gives you 3 distinct color traces- 

red, blue, purple. (Additional shades of 

the 3 colors can be produced by vary- 

ing filter density.] And it’s as simple to 

use as black and white recording pa- 

pers! Color oscillograms have the 

unique advantage of being able to dis- 

play a greater number of traces on a 

single record with no worry about in- 

termixing of traces. You get faster in-

formation retrieval, less chance for 

readout errors. Save money, too, be- 

cause complex traces don’t have to be 

hand-colored before readout. 

Colortrace can be processed in conven- 

tional processing equipment like the 

CEC-23-109 or Viewlet Oscillogram 

Processors, with the Colortrace Liquid 

Processing Outfit. For more informa-

A Solid-state Acoustoelectric Light Scan- 

ner (SALS) developed at Bcll Tclcphonc 

Laboratories uses a scanning acoustic 

domain to excite light cniission scqucntially 

from a row of p-n junctions. The SALS 

device is described by Basil W. €Iakki, of 

Bell Tclcphonc Laboratories, in a paper, 

“Solid-state Acoustoelectric Light Scan- 

ncr,” in Ajjlied Physics Letters, Vol. IS, 

No. 5, Sept. 1, 1967, pp. 153-155. 

In operation, the acoustic domain, a 

concentration of crystal lattice vibrations, 

travels with the speed of sound through an 

n-type cadmiurn sulfide strip. P-type 

cuprous sulfide rectangles on top of the 

cadmium sulfide substratc form the p-n 

junctions. As the domain sweeps by a p-n 

junction, the domain voltage causes local 

breakdown in the junction. The resulting 

current flow causes the p-n junction to 

emit a flash of red light. The SALS device 

is sandwiched between this glass plates 

for structural strcngth. Ohmic contacts 

are applied to opposite ends of the cadmium 

sulfide strip. 

Present research on the device, de- 

scribed by Mr. Hakki, is directed toward 

its use as either a light-emitting array 

(for alphanumeric or irnagc displays) or 

as a scanning light detector. 

When an acoustic domain is used to 

scan a square array, thereby exciting light 

emission sequentially from its elements, 

thc amount of accessing circuitry is re- 

duced to an amount equal to the square 

root of the total number of elements in the 

array. This is because only each row (not 

each element) of a SALS device nccd be 

accessed with external electrical circuitry. 

For example, one 141 X 1414 array of 

p-n junctions (about 20,000) now being 

explored at Bell Telephone Laboratories 

would require only the integrated circuitry 

needed to access each of the 141 rows. 

The University of Wisconsin Extension 

has announced a Measurements and 

Transducers Institute to be held January 

4-5 on the University’s Madison campus. 

Emphasis will he on properties and design 

principles of measuring systems and 

transducers and the validity of data 

gathered with them, rather than on the

A sound decay meter invented by Man- 

fred R. Schrocder of Bell Telephone 

Laboratories is used to tcst the acoustic 

qualities of concert halls and auditoriums. 

The device, which has been patented, was 

invcntcd while Dr. Schroedcr was nnalyz- 

ing the auditory problems of thc Phil- 

harmonic Hall in New York’s Lincoln 

Center. The meter is used to dctcrmine by 

means of a single sound (such as a pistol 

shot) a single decay curve reprcsenting the 

average of many curves that would othcr- 

wise require many tcsts to determine. 

The systcm includes a filter and an arnpli- 

fier that feed to pistol shot, or other test 

signal, into the auditorium. The sound, 

received in a microphone at another point 

inside the chamber, is analyzed in a 

computer and the rcsult is displayed on an 

oscilloscope. 

A miniature television tape recorder- 

reproducer which can record four hours 

of slow-scan TV or a half-hour of com- 

mercial TV signals on 1-in. tape has been 

developed by KCA’s Communications 

Systems Division for National Aero- 

nautics and Space Administration. The 

device weighs 30 Ib and measures 14 X 

10 X 6.1 in. Developed for possiblc usc in 

manned apacc fights, it is intended mainly 

for the recording of television signals when 

a spacecraft is outside the range of ground 

stations. When the spacecraft then comes 

into contact with a station, the recorder 

can “dump” information to earth-based 

receivers eight times faster than it was 

recorded. Thus, 32 minutes of rrcording 

can be transmitted to the ground during 

thc four minutes that a typical space vehicle 

is in contact with any single station in thc 

NASA network. Kcy to the recording 

system is the helical scan station. It 

incorporatcs a high-spced rotating head 

wheel which develops the high head-to-tape 

spccd neccssary for sideband recording. 

Continuous recording is made possible by 

two diametrically opposed recording hcads 

in the wheel with at lcast one hcad always 

in contact with the tape. 

A system developed by RCA Astro- 

Electronics Div. combines television and 

laser tcchnology to transmit and record 

pictures. The system, designed primarily 

for use in an earth resources satellite 

(EROS), uses a new TV camera tube that 

sends its pictures to a gas laser whose beam 

traccs them on photographic film at a rate 

of 1,200 lines/s. The camera uses an 

clcctron tube callcd a “return-beam 

vidicon.” In operation, a laser beam image 

reproducer converts the rcturn beam 

vidicon’s electronic signals to a picture by 

scanning conventional photographic film 

with a laser beam. The basic principle 

employed by the laser beam image re- 

producer is electronic modulation of the 

laser beam as it scans the photographic 

film. Signals from the return-beam vidicon 

are fed into the recorder and the picture 

is recreated at the rate of 1,200 lines/s. 

The scene viewed by the return beam 

vidicon is reproduced for direct viewing as 


a 9 by !)-in. image on film or photosrnsitivr 

paper. 

For satcllitc operations, the return 

beam vidicon’s images would be stored 

on magnetic tape aboard the spacccraft 

until it came within range of a ground 

station. The data would then be trans- 

mitted to the ground station and recorded 

on tape for later insertion into the laser 

rcproduccr. The laser could also reproducc 

the pictures for instant viewing. 

The Norwegian firm, Nera Bergen A/S, 

has been awarded a contract amounting 

to 21.6 million Norwegian crowns for 

cquipment to be used in expanding the 

Norwrgian radio link network. The con- 

tract, signed by Ixif Larsen, Director 

General of Telecommunications, and Olaf 

Bordewick, Managing Director of Nera, 

covers delivery of 1,800 channel broadband 

equiprnents for the routes between Troms6 

and Hamnierfest, Stifjell and Rassegal- 

varrc, Oslo and Bergen and also the de- 

livery of 300 channel branching equip- 

ments for 27 local branch-links from the 

main network. Eight of the branch links 

will carry television and 19 will be used 

as branch links for telephones. The eight 

branch-links for television will covcr ten 

cities in Norway. Most of the routes are 

two-way radio links with a spare, and 

automatic changeover in case of failure. 

Thc system can carry 300 telephone calls 

simultaneously, one TV picture with sound, 

or four program channels for broadcasting. 

The 1,800 channel broadband links cover 

expansion of the main network. The system 

is solid state except for one tube in the 

output stage. It will be able to carry about 

1,800 simultaneous telephone calls, color 

television with sound, or three program 

channels for broadcasting. The Tromspl-

Official Gazette Patent Abstracts Section 

is a new weekly publication of the Patent 

Office, U.S. Department of Commerce. 

The journal, intended to give scientists, 

engineers and businessmen easicr access to 

technical information contained in patents, 

will contain abstracts and drawings of 

US. patents. For this reason, the Patent 

Office requircs that abstracts be concise 

summaries of the technical content of 

patents, avoiding the use of legal and patent 

phraseology. Subscriptions to the new 

journal are available on a six-months 

basis (January through June 1368) from 

Supcrintendent of Documents, US. Gov- 

ernment Printing Office, Washington, 

D.C. 20402, price, $27. Single copies 

are available at a price of $1.25. 

Proper Print Handling is a 16mm color 

and sound motion picture, running 133 

min, that suggests ways to prevent damage 

to film and increase its life. It is available 

without charge as a loan from Eastman 

Kodak Go., Audio Visual Service, Roch- 

ester, N.Y. 14650, to film handlers and 

users, such as government agencies, motion- 

picture libraries, etc. The movie documents 

the path traveled by the film from labora- 

tory to user and shows danger areas where 

film damage can occur.

A two - way closed - circuit television 

system using the newly dcveloped PK-301 

cameras has been designed by RCA to 

provide two-way visual communications 

between a patient’s room and the children’s 

waiting area at Memorial Hospital, 

Panoraina City, Calif. To set up the 

electronic face-to-face visit, an nttcndant 

pushes a small transistorizcd TV camera 

mounted on a dolly into thc patient’s 

room and plugs it into a cable conncction 

in the wall. Thc room’s TV set is tuned to a 

channcl not used locally for broadcast 

reception. A similar caniera and TV set are 

pernianrntly mounted on the wall of the 

children’s waiting rooni and rcady to 

bcgin operation as soon as the young 

visitor steps within ciinicra range. 

The National Association of Theatre 

Owners held its annual convention during 

Octobrr in Bal Harbour, lk. Among 

topics discussed was the possibility of a

of automation in the theater, Union 

Carbide’s Carbon Products Division, 270 

Park Avc., New York, N.Y. 10017, ex- 

hibited a joinable carbon that had prc- 

viously been developed for use in the

Canon’s z-0-0-0-0-m lens: 15-170mm, f 2.5, 

available with remote control of all functions: 

What do you need in a fast zoom 

lens? A long zoom ratio? High reso- 

lution? You won’t find one longer, 

with higher resolution, than Canon’s 

model 12x15. And the f-stop is un- 

changed over the entire zoom range. 

The lens is available either manu. 

ally operated or with remote con- 

trolled cable drive or servomotor ope 

eration of all functions: zoom, focus, 

and aperture. The motorized controls 

are an integral part of the lens, not 

an add-on. All Canon lens controls 

and accessories are designed and 

factory-installed by Canon. 

If you need an exceptionally fast 

zoom lens, we make a 15-120mm 

f1.3. It’s available in manual and re- 

mote controlled versions. (For “no 

light” situations, our 50mm f0.95). 

We make a complete line of zoom 


and fixed focal length optics for Vidi. 

con, Plumbicon, and Image Orthicon 

cameras. They’re all designed with 

optical specifications equal to 

Canon’s unsurpassed photographic 

standards, so our Vidicon lenses can 

also be used on 16mm motion pic- 

ture cameras.

daylight white light that assures faithful 

reproductlon of color. 

it is easily mounted on 35mm projectors 

16mm projectors which accommodate car- 

bon arcs, and some incandescent projectors. 

Screen iilumlnation for 16mm projectors 

approximates eight times that obtalned 

from incandescent sources-the maximum 

that this narrow gauge film can withstand, 

and twice that obtained from the lower 

power enclosed arc sources. 

Ideal for screen/irg rooms 

Screen illumination for 35mm projectlon Is 

comparable to low powered carbon arc light- 

ing and with a low degree of aperture heat. 

Operation is simple and costs are about the 

same as for carbon arcs which project an 

equal amount of Ilght. The bulb has a life 

expectancy of over 2,000 hours. No moving 

parts to wear out. No dirt or carbon soot to 

adversely affect reflector efficiency. The

Filmprojektoren Filmprojektion 

(Film Projectors and Projection) 

By Kurt Enz. Published (1965) by VEB 

Fotokinoverlag, Leipzig, Germany. 520 pp. 

incl. bibliography and index. Illus. 58 by 

84 in. Price MDN 32. 

This is an excellent reference book for the 

serious student of motion-picture projec- 

tion, as well as for the experienced engineer. 

All basic optical and mechanical physics 

used in motion-picturc projection design 

and operation is described in a thoroughly 

technical manner. 

The author is an acknowledged expert in 

the field of film projection technology; he 

has included film formats, drive systems, 

optics and light sources in addition to an 

excellent description of the construction of 

major projector mechanisms. 

His explanation of the geometry of vari- 

ous film transports is particularly thorough 

and includes various Maltese-cross or 

Geneva-type movements, as well as cam- 

driven claw types, beater types and various 

continuous film transports optically recti- 

fied for motion-picture projection. 

Sprocket design, framing devices, pad 

rollers and other mechanical parts are dc- 

scribcd in detail. An elaborate section rc- 

lates to prqjection light sources together 

with associated optics for incandescent, 

carbon-arc and xenon prqjection lamps. 

The book is replete with drawings, 

figures and charts. Mathematical computa- 

tion is such that the work could easily be 

used as a teaching manual. 

Final chapters arc devoted to complete 

pro.jection systems. Most 701nm, 35mm, 

16mm and 8mm projectors are described in 

detail---Revicw and translation by Don V.

lhc underlying physics of the processes 

employed in ttie grinding and polishing of 

optical surfaces has not been the subject of a 

large mass of technical literature in English. 

In particular thcrc is no comprehensive 

coverage of this sub,ject in a single reference 

text. It would appear that a similar lack has 

existpd in the Russian language. As a result, 

a collection has been made, under the 

editorship of Professor K. G. Kumanin, of 

fifteen papers prepared by eleven diKerent 

authors. The collection is referred to as a 

symposium and its original publit-ation is

arid E. .\. Sutherns doing the editing of the 

English publication. 

'Ihe translator and editors are to be con- 

gratulated on the cxcellcnt quality of the 

English translation for there are very few 

instances where the language poses any 

problem for the reader. I suspect that for 

the American reader the differences be- 

tween English technical usage and that of 

American workers in this field will be more 

obvious than any problems arising from 

word selection by the translator. 

The papers are divided into threc groups. 

The first group is concerned with the 

mechanisms of grinding and polishing, with 

the details of the interaction of abrasive 

grains and the surface of the work, with 

rates of material removal, energy relations 

and forces. While some theoretical and 

analytical work is reported, the real value 

of this section rests in the large amount of 

observational data presented. Not only is 

this data well coordinated with the analysis, 

but it appears in a form which will allow it 

to be applied directly to practical cages. A 

discussion of ultrasonic grinding arid surface 

generation is included as part of material of 

this section. 

Thcre would not seem to be any new con- 

cepts, different from those developed and 

reported in the literature familiar to Ameri- 

cans working in this field, but I do not know 

of any other compilation of this material in 

as uscful or complete a form. 

The second section treats the problems of 

gcncrating and polishing the variety of 

geometrical surface shapes rr-quirrd in 

modern optical devices. The Grst papvr of 

this scction is, like those of the first section, 

an excellent combinatioii of analytical dis- 

cussion arid experimental results of studies 

of the thermal problems, mechattiral dis- 

tortions. distribution of ahrnsivrs, rates of 

removal and the control of surfacc shape in 

the classical surface pmrration process. 

The second papcr of this scction deals 

with the specific problem of the qrneration 

of spherical surfacrs with cup-shaped tools. 

This method is in widespread use in the 

&\merican optical industry and its copahili- 

ties and limitations are well understood by 

those employing curve gerirrators of this 

type. While there does not appear to be any 

new information not known to those using 

this method, ttie gathrring together of all 

the major considerations into one text will 

be very valuable to those seeking a thorough 

coverage of the subject. 

'The next two papcrs covcr specialized 

methods. In 1927, Preston discussed the 

theory and design of machines for the rapid 

polishing of plate glass. This concept has 

been extended and analyzed for the genera- 

tion and figuring of precision optical sur- 

faces. Some work along these general lines 

is underway in the United States and in 

England and these papers will be of great 

interest to these particular workers not only 

because of the completeness of the analysis 

but also because these papers shed consider- 

able light on the direction of Russian 

activity. 

A detailed paper in this section describes 

and analyzes the great variety of machines 

previously reported for the generation of 

specific aspheric surfaces. Again, no new 

facts or ideas are disclosed but having all the 

information in one place will be a great con- 

venience. Some of the aspheric shapm and

CAPE KENNEDY, Aug. 19 - H. Richard 

Hertel, Editorial Supervisor, Technicolor, 

Inc., Kennedy Space Center, Fla., spoke 

before the mccting of the Cape Kennedy 

Section held at the Holiday Inn in Cocoa 

Bcach. Thirty-six persons attendcd the 

meeting. 

tlertel discusscd Technicolor’s job of 

providing photographic support for NASA 

at the Kennedy Space Center. The support 

includes camera work, processing, filin 

distribution and the maintaining of a 

lilin library. 

I-frrtel’s talk outlined the cnmcra opera- 

tion and engineering instrumentation sup- 

port pro\ idcd. Laboratory and camera 

equipment were described in a slide prc- 

sentation. I Icrtel said Technicolor provides 

still and motion-picture coverage of a 

launch vehicle from arrival to launch. 

The work of the motion-picture production 

unit was also discussed in its job of produc- 

ing films for launch reports and news 

rclcasc. 

SfmPpd 1966, a motion picture pro- 

duced by Technicolor for NASA, was 

shown. It depicted NASA’s accomplish- 

ments during 1966. Pointing out the 

magnitude of providing photographic sup- 

port at the Space Center, 1-Icrtel said one 

launch requircd approximately 100 cam- 

eras. 

This discussion was wcll received by the 

membership. - Richard M. Kise, Secretary-

DETROIT, Sept. 26 - Thc Detroit Section 

rnct at Angel1 Hall at the University of 

Michigan in Ann Arbor where 103 persons 


attendcd. Dr. Emmett Lcith, Radar and 

Optics Laboratory, University of Michigan, 

presented a talk on “Holography - Three 

Diniensionnl Laser Photography.’’ 

Leith explained the principles of holog- 

raphy in terms analogous to those of con- 

ventional photography. This was ac- 

complished despite thc lack of a real image 

on the photographic plate or optics in the 

system. 

Coherent light produced by a laser 

beam is analogous to the incoherent light 

used in regular Photography. After regular 

processing of the photographic plate Leith 

explained how the iinage is recovcred by 

projecting a laser beam through the plate 

to reveal a virtual image in full three di- 

mmsions. 

In holography, all imagcs itre positives - 

there are no negatives - and contrast 

nlways remains the siimc as recorded from 

thc original subjcct. 

Lrith pointed out scvrr:d roiiiinercial 

applications of holography in addition to its 

photographic use. Thcsc include the nhility 

of a hologram to store and rcvral large 

quantities of factual data in :I sinall space 

anti its capability in thr lielrl of photo- 

graphic interferoinrtry.

DETROIT, Oct. 17--An csccllcnt pr(-sen- 

tation on the subject “Spectr:d (:olor 

Response in Studio Idghting,” wits Kiven 

by Kollo G. Williarlls, Vice President, 

Crntury Lighting Co.. before 70 persons 

attending the Detroit Section iiiccting 

held at The .Jarti I4:uicly (3rganiz;ition in 

Detroit. 

Using an eflectivc set of 2 x 2 color 

slides and drawing. upon his extcnsive 

knowledge and cxperience, Williams gave 

audience a basic undcrstanding of the very 

important aspects of lighting from the 

standpoints of color, intensity and economy. 

Starting with pertinent facts regarding 

the optics and color rcsponse of the human 

eye, he moved to the physical characteristics 

of light and light sources. The great need 

for niorc scientific measurinK dcvices, 

greater understanding of the practical use 

of meters, and more standardization of 

equipment was stressed. 

It was particularly interesting to learn 

how much economy can be accomplished 

in lighting sets for motion-picture or tele- 

vision reproduction if the spectral char- 

acteristics of light, in terms of color and 

color tcmperature, are accurately applied. 

For instance, he pointed out that lighting 

for blue can be done at a fraction 01 the 

power cost if the proper wave length is 

recognized in selecting the lamps for 

illumination, and even more savings can

e realized if rehearsals lighting is done at 

low key and then pushed to the greater 

color temperature for the short time of 

photography or between exposure. 

A difficult subject was expertly handled 

in a vcry interesting and highly educational 

manner.- John A. Campbell, Secretary- 

Trrasurw, The Jam Handy Organization, 

Detroit. 

NASIIVILLE, July 15 -A special rriccting 

of the Nashville Section was attended by 

85 persons at the Quality Courts Motel 

in Memphis, Tcnn. 

The session was sponsored by Motion 

Picture Laboratories and featured a talk by 

Ernie Robertson who discussed and demon- 

strated his method of editing more than 

20,000 ft of football film into a sports 

highlight film in color with special effects. 

A presentation prepared by llill Ber- 

mont, of the Georgia Ccntcr, was given on 

his programs produced for the National 

Education TV Network. Othcr features of 

the meeting were exhibits of equipment 

such as tape recorders, cameras and lighting 

equipincnt. Each exhibit was accompanied 

by a demonstration. 

Motion Picture Laboratories was open 

from 8:30 to 9:30 in the morning for tours 

of its operation. MPL also presented split- 

screen comparisons between various color 

film stocks and a demonstration of the new 

4X reversal and forced-processed EF.

ROCHESTER, Sept. 14 -Herbert A. 

Tiedemann, Photographic Technology Lab, 

NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, I-Ious- 

ton, Tex., prcsentcd a paper on “Geologic 

Interpretation from Orbital Photography,” 

hefore 250 persons at the Rochester Section 

meeting held at thr Dryden Theater. 

According to Ticdcmann, handheld 

photography experiments from orbiting 

spacecraft has shown unique capabilities 

and advantages ovcr other conventional 

rneans of photography. Important ad- 

vantages which were demonstrated with 

numerous color slides are speed and scope 

of coverage, variability in scale, wide per- 

spective and continuity of observation. 

Teidetnann interpreted photographs of 

special interest to various branches of 

geology, as well as the allied fields of 

oceanography, physiography, geography 

and cartography. - Robert 0. Gale,

ROCHESTER, Oct. 12 - J. J. DePahna 

and J. S. Chandler, both of the Eastman 

Kodak Co. in Kochester, discussed Kodak’s 

new high-brightness front projection screen 

at ii meeting of the Rochester Section held 

at the Dryden Theater. There were 250 

persons in attendance. 

According to DePalma and Chandlcr, 

theoretical gains arc possible with ideal 

screen materials and shapes by which the 

reflected light is eficiently concentrated 

into the audience space. A new screen 

material and screen shape were described 

which combine to yield about 10 times the 

brightness of conventional matte screens. 

This screen is especially useful in ambient 

light. A demonstration of this new screen 

was given. 

UePalnia and Chandler had presented a 

paper on the new screen at the 102nd

A new one from those film engineers 

who worked so diligently after the factory lights went out. 

KODAK 4-X Reversal is the film to 

end all reversals-blackouts, for 

instance. Because it’s rated at E.I. 

320for tungsten (400 for Daylight), 

you can do your work by candle- 

light. Or maybe your problem is 

night football accompanied by not 

quite enough light. Maybe you’ve 

been shooting KODAK TRI-X Rever- 

sal Film and getting it pushed- 

but paying a premium for this 

special service. 

4-X Reversal Film to the rescue. 

It’s the one that will brighten up 

the evening news, solve a host of 

your problems. Take care of that 

halo problem around the head- 

lights of passing cars or charging 

quarterbacks. 4-X Film has an anti- 

halation undercoat that excels any- 

thing we’ve ever seen. And the film 

is as close in grain and sharpness 

to TRI-X Reversal as you could 

want. You’d like stilt another stop

JUST ANOTHER REFLEX BNC? 

NO! There are a few differences. To start with, 

ours is the quietest. For more than a quarter of a 

century the BNC was the standard of iinoiseless- 

ness” bywhichall othercameras have been judged. 

Other BNC reflex conversions try to come close to 

the BNC. The CSC REFLEX BNC doesn’t just equal 

the BNC, it surpasses the BNC - it is the new stand- 

ard for others to try to equal. 

Secondly, our BNC has a variable mirror shutter. 

We feel that forcing a cameraman to shoot with a 

175degreeshutterat 24fps is ridiculous. Using ND 

filters and varying “f” stops just isn’t enough. Our 

conversion is truly professional -designed for pro- 

fessiona Is. 

A word about our reflex optical system - superb! 

Don’t just take our word for it. Compare! Look 

through the focusing tube of a “racked-over” BNC, 

ora Mark II, oran Arri, orany BNC reflexconversion 

-the CSC REFLEX BNC has the brightest, clearest 

ground glass image. 

We have even developed an advanced lens locking 

device for our camera. It can take lenses from 

20mm up- it can even take heavy zoom lenses like 

the Angenieux 25mm/250mm without any need 

for support brackets. 

Mitchell makes great cameras. The BNC is incom- 

parable. CSC has maintained Mitchell quality levels 

throughout the conversion with all of the original 

BNC features intact . . . even down to our steel 

washers that have been hardened and precision 

ground for a lifetime of smooth operation. 

The CSC REFLEX BNC -just another reflex BNC? 

Hardly! Just compare. See it now! Rent it! Convert 

your BNC! Call CSC at 212 PLaza 7-0906.

PRINTER 

Start with the printer that produces the sharpest prints 

you’ve ever seen! From 16mm one-light internegatives the 

clean, crisp, detail on type 7380 film is almost unbelievable, 

yet this superior quality is achieved at speeds 10 times faster 

than step printing methods. Your internegative flows smoothly 

and safely at a continuous speed of 400 feet per minute. 

Available for Super 8 or for regular 8. The HF/C model is 

readily interchangeable between the two formats. We invite 

your inquiry for additional details on the printer that issas 

modern as today-as efficient as tomorrow! 

SLITTER 

The last step in the system is just as important as the first. 

To assure good projection the 16mm film must be slit to film 

manufacturers’ ultra-close tolerances. The HFC slitters are 

designed for just such precision and are in daily use in the 

professional laboratories wherever multi-rank printing is 

routine. 

Produce outstanding quality prints with the HF/C-7380 team, 

inspect and insure your total quality on HSP projectors, slit to 

raw-stock manufacturers’ tolerances on the HFC slitter, then 

package your product on HFC reels and cans with your im- 

print or color. The HFC “basic” (more to come) system is 

ready for you-today! 

Guaranfees Safisfied Cusfomers 

PROJECTOR 

Next, insure the quality of your 

delivered prints by inspecting 

every one on the modern HSP 

laboratory inspection projector. 

High-speed inspection on HSP 

projectors is done by most 

large laboratories. The HSP Su- 

per 8 is another model of this 

hard-working, trouble-free lab- 

oratory tool which has become 

the standard of the industry.

.“FILMLINE OVERDRIVE FILM TRANSPORT SYSTEM’’ 

This marvel of engineering completely eliminates 

film breakage, pulled perforations, scratches and 

operator error. The film can be deliberately 

stalled in the machine without film breakage or 

significant change of film footage in solutions. 

The heart of any film processor is the drive 

system. No other film drive system such as 

sprocket drive, bottom drive or simple clutch 

drives with floating lower assemblies can give 

you the performance capability of the unique 

Filmline Overdrive Film Transport System. 

.“TORPUE MOTOR TAKE-UP” gives you constant film 

take-up and does not impose any stress or strain 

on the film itself. Completely independent of the 

film transport system. This FILMLINE feature is 

usually found in professional commercial pro- 

cessors but is incorporated on the FE-30 and

Disney's 

Magic World of Sound ... 

from Altec. 

The magic that is Disney is not just a pat formula. It is a 

form of perfectionism that pervades everything which 

carries the Disney name. Certainly, there's a Disney 

look, But just as certainly there's a Disney sound. And 

that's where we come in. 

For example, the new control console at the Disney 

Studio's orchestra stage is made up of 29 Altec slide- 

wire attenuators, 7 rotaries, and one 4-gang master. 

The works are powered by rack-mounted banks of 

Altec amplifiers, Monitoring in the control room is 

done in a big way-with three giant Altec A4 "Voice 

of the Theatre"" systems butted together in a single 

plane of the most powerful, pure sound you can get, 

The stage itself uses three more A4's for monitoring, 

re-recording, and playback. (That's one good way to 

keep the musicians happy.) Eight caster-mounted A7 

"Voice of the Theatre"" systems are mobile, may be 

moved where and as needed. 

And that's not all. On the back lot Altec PA equip- 

ment provides the paging. Dialog stages at the Studios 

also use A4's, with Altec's space-saving 844A Monitor

A significant part of the “crew” aboard NASA’s Lunar Orbiters, which sent back pictures from the moon, was the 

CBS Laboratories Line Scan Tube. We developed this specialform of flying spot scanner for high resolution photo 

transmission applications like these. Our products have now scanned more than 95% of the moon’s surface, 

areas where our astronauts may land in a few short years. 

Sophisticated programs like this one demand high level technical performance. Demand for our services is con- 

stantly increasing from government and industrial customers. To meet the demand, we require mechanical engi- 

neers, electronic engineers and physicists at all levels. We have immediate opportunities for: 

ELECTRICAL PROJECT ENGINEERS 

. to assume responsibility for the electro-optical de-

And we have other positions. Our R&D projects often demand interdisciplinary versatility; this encourages our 

professionals to widen their technical backgrounds. Lunar Orbiter just scratches the surface of our technical 

capability.

l‘hc third item is the cost within an orga- 

nization such as that of a school system of cir- 

culating films and other A-V materials to 

individual schools. It would also include 

similar activities of a business firm (includ- 

ing “hidden” costs) and the operation of 

public libraries. 

Motion Picture Equipment. This column 

consists of expenditures for l6mm sound 

projectors, 8mm sound and silent projectors, 

special motion-picture projectors such as 

the analyst type, 16mm and 8mm cameras, 

sound recorders used in production, editing 

cquipment, lighting equipment and other 

studio and production items (i.c., animation 

stands, etc.). 

Other Audio-visual. Included here are 

equipment and material sales which are too 

small to warrant a separate category, or 

which represent the product of a single 

manufacturer and therefore would disclose 

privileged information if listed, or for which 

factual data are skimpy and therefore con- 

sist of “educated guesses” on the part of 

A-V experts. It is desirablc that in coming 

years more of this information be brokcn 

down and released publicly. Items include: 

projectors - filmstrip, sound filmstrip, 

2 X 2 in. slide, 3$ X 4 in. slidc, overhead, 

opaque, micro-projectors, and accessories ; 

audio producfs - tape recorders, record 

playcrs, TV receivers, language labs, 

radios, microphones and public address 

systems; materials - 35mm color film for 

slides, larger-size film for slides and picture 

work, matcrials for making transparencies 

for overhead prqjectors, phonograph rec- 

ords, magnetic tape, rcady-made overhead 

transparencies; miscellaneous quipinent - 

projection screens, projrction stands, read- 

ing and tachistoscopic devices, random 

access prqjectors, transparency-making 

equipment, slide-binding equipment, room 

darkening shades, film insprction machines, 

dry mounting presses, easels and electronic 

panels, lecterns, mechanical lettering equip- 

ment, and planetariums; and replaccnienl 

itenis - projection lamps, belts and replacc- 

ment parts. 

Administration. This final category covers 

the wages and salaries of A-V directors and 

others administering programs, secretaries, 

operating costs not included elsewhere, 

travel expenses, capital expenditures not 

covered as part of a film production or lab- 

oratory company, and overhead costs of 

school, religious, business and other A-V 

units. Also in a general sense would be the 

portion of salaries for persons who devote 

half or less time to A-V work. This would 

include 70,000 to 100,000 parttime school 

A-V coordinators responsible for A-V ac- 

tivities in an individual school. Not in- 

cluded would be the administrative costs of 

commercial film producers, educational 

film producers and distributors and other 

independent companies whose costs would 

be covered by the products which they sell.

Thompson and Alexander Hammid for their EXPO 67 film triumph, “WE ARE 

YOUNG,” produced for the Canadian Pacific-Cominco Pavilion. The produc- 

tion has been hailed as a major step forward in the art of cinematography. It 

utilizes six synchronized projectors and a novel cluster of six curved screens 

to tell its’story. 

We are preud that their choice of filming tool was again 

Arriflex 35’s for their unique six-camera set-up. A simi- 

larly designed triple Arriflex 35 set-up was used in their 

award-winning NewYorkWorld’s Fair film, “TO BE ALIVE.”
