New Alignment Device • The trouble occasioned by the difference in size of frame in sound-on disc films and sound-on-films pictures, has been attacked by another concern, which has brought out a new device for masking off the sound track and bringing the sound-on-film image to its proper position on the screen. The device was developed by the Golde Manufacturing Company. The system involves the employment of an aperture plate (called in this instance, the Golde centerting proportional aperture plate) a fixed distance sidewise to cover the sound track, and back again to the normal center line of sound-ondisc (or silent) film. Moving along with the aperture plate, is the lens mount, which is part of the device. Manipulation is entirely by two levers. The aperture, however, is slightly smaller than standard, and it is therefore necessary to drape off a margin of about four inches of the screen. Even so, it is perhaps seldom that the action would be interfered with. It is stated that when used with the S M P E ground glass markings, the whole frame is projected. Disco-O-Phone Turntables • Specific application to the small theatre would seem to be an outstanding feature of the Disc-O-Phone turntables, information concerning which has just come to this desk. The tables are mounted on cast iron brackets which may be fastened to the front wall of the projection room. Furthermore, the regular projection motors (those used prior to addition of sound equipment) may be used by changing the motors to direct drive.
