Educational screen & audio-visual guide (c1956-1971])

Eastman Kodak Company announces a new, transistorized audio -visual projector for people in education, business, industry, religion, and government whose lives are devoted to communicating ideas. This new Kodak Pageant Projector has been buih so that an eleven-yearold school child can set it up, thread it. and operate a perfect performance with only two practice runs! New, transistorized sound system This projector's completely transislorizcd amplifier incorporates major electronic improvements in the science of re-creating sound. Turn on the projector and the sound starts instantly, together with the picture. No wait for amplifier vvann-up any more. Before and during performance, you will notice a complete absence of background noise in the sound system. No audible hissing, no crackling or pop]}ing. This projector's sound system has the capacity to reproduce — faithfully — any frequency wiiich can be recorded on an optical sound track. This new transistorized sound system has been created to reproduce the entire audible range of sound, crisply and clearly. You will hear comfortnbly-audiblc sound either in the auditorium, where it must be loud, or in classrooms, where sound volume level is kept low. This is sound with the power to operate either through existing public-address or auditorium speaker systems or through this projector's own large (llx6-inch) speaker. This is a sound system which should never interrupt a performance, because there are no tubes to age or bum out. Parts are carefully selected for long life. Rugged circuitry withstands bumps and jostling. Kodak sound engineers estimate that this new projector's sound system should require virtually no maintenance for the life of the projector. Superb picture brilliance Kodak Pageant Projectors have always had superior picture brilliance because of a specially developed Kodak shutter. This exclusive Kodak Super-^o Shutter projects pictures which are bright and easy to .see, even in partially lighted rooms or where "throws" arc long. The Supcr-40 Shutter has been incorporated into this new Kodak Pageant Projector. You'll see brilliant pictures in room or hall. Also, since proiection in class rooms often requires smaller wattage projection lamps for the sake of eye comfort, we have accordingly allowed for a choice of either 750-, 1000-, or 1200-watt lamps in this machine. This Kodak Pageant Projector never intrudes upon the performance This is a machine which actually contributes to the effectiveness of a motion-picture presentation. Operation is so simple it never embarrasses the operator. The machine runs so quietly the audience doesn't detect its presence. Its sound system and mechanics are so dependable, it won't interrupt its own performance. It can sturdily accept abusive treatment. A school child, for example, can shift it from full speed forward to full speed reverse at one whack without damaging anything. He may run it continuously in reverse without fear of projection lamp bum-out. You can see a demonstration of this new Kodak Pageant 16mm Sound Projector, AV-126-TR, at your convenience by calling a Kodak audiovisual dealer. Or write, please, for s]K"cirication literature.
