28 BRITISH KINEMATOGRAPHY Vol. 16, No. A typical 5,000 amp. Hewittic equipment for studio supply. D.C. for STUDIO LIGHTING pOR operating D.C. arcs from the A.C. supply, for installations up to the largest capacities, HEWITTIC rectifiers are the finest choice, because they are : • Superior to rotating plant, being static in operation (hence no wear, negligible maintenance and highest reliability), • Designed for the job — D.C. output fully smoothed over required audio frequency range. (D.C. ripple less than .01 per cent, at 900 cycles.) • Flexible in layout to suit existing buildings or awkward sites and easily extended to larger capacity, due to neat unit cubicle construction. • Backed by over 40 years' experience in the manufacture of rectifiers. Used by more than 1,400 cinemas for projector arc supply. fjewittic I(ectiiiet5 OVER A MILLION KW. in World -Wide Service HACKBRIDGE & HEWITTIC ELECTRIC CO., LTD.
