Y.. has compiled the following article dealing with a new method for current regulation in connection with motion picture projection with Mazda lamps. Successful Mazda lamp projection, considered both from business and engineering standpoints, depends on close regulation of the current passing through the lamps, for close regulation of the current gives the most satisfactory light and by preventing undue strains on the lamp filaments due to excessive currents adds materially to the length of life of the lamps. The Compensarc engineers of the General Electric Company, working in conjunction with the engineers of the lamp departments of the same company, have developed for this particular purpose the Type I Compensarc. The Type I Compensarc is a self contained device requiring no auxiliary attachments and is rated 750 watts, 110/220 volts A-C primary and 20/30 volts secondary. The working parts consist of Compensator, starting switch, rheostat and ammeter. The starting switch, rheostat handle and ammeter all appear on the front of the steel cabinet which houses the compensator rheostat and other working parts. The steel cabinet is arranged for wall mounting at point where the controls will be convenient to the projection machine operator. The starting switch at starting the lamp, automatically puts some resistance in the lamp circuit so that excessive rush of current through the cold filament is prevented. The ammeter indicates at all times the current passing' through the lamp and the finer adjustments of current are controlled at the will of the operator by means of the adjustable rheostat. The operator can therefore easily adjust the rheostat to compensate for the slight variations in the commercial line voltage and therebv conserve the life of the lamps.
