Lang Lab on Wheels Rheem-Califone has developed a language laboratory, not just for sales demonstration puqjoses but for daily use by districts in which small dispersed schools might feel a special electronic room is beyond their means. Trailers are available in 35, 42 and 55-foot lengths, 8 or 10-feet wide, with from 8 to 27 student positions and teacher console. Palmer Now Service Lab W. A. Palmer, Inc., San Francisco, will henceforth make available pix)duction and laboratory facilities to other producers instead of engaging, as it has since 1936, in direct production of its own.

Ampex Merger The Ampex Co. and Telemeter Magnetics, Inc., have merged on a stocktransfer deal, with Ampex the surviving company. Telemeter manufactures tape-handling equipment and computer components. According to TJie Film Daily, Ampex had a $700,000 increase in .sales in the six months ending Oct. 31, although its earnings dropped to five cents a share as compared to 80 cents a year ago. No More Records? The "Duo-Screen," designed for interlocked operations of two projectors (still and movie), may have educational applications as well as commercial presentation use. The inaudible frequency activating impulse in this case is on the motion picture film track instead of on a disc recording. A patented plug, replacing the phono pickup cartridge, is fed from the external speaker outlet of the motion picture projector. The results of two screens talking back to each other are interest-compelling. CARGAL. Ideal Fix Sues Films, Inc.
