Projector Announced By Bell & Howell The utility of the safe, economical 16mm. film is now extended even further into fields where previously only 3 5mm. film would give sufficiently large, bright pictures. This furthering of 16mm. film projection applications has been accomplished by Bell & Howell's latest projector, the Filmo 1000-Watt Model 130. The 1000-watt lamp, instigated by Bell & Howell and developed by cooperation between Bell & Howell and lamp manufacturers' engineers, provides a much more powerful light source than has previously been used in 16mm. projectors. The optical system is entirely new, and is so efficient that, according to tests in the Bell & Howell laboratory, the increase in illumination is considerably greater than that attributable to the increase in lamp wattage. The projection lens is the fast Cooke 2-inch F 1.65. Naturally the powerful lamp develops considerably more heat than previously used lamps. The lamp is kept at the proper temperature for safe, economical operation by two fans, driven by a powerful motor, which pass a great volume of cool air over the lamps in the large, finned lamphouse. After passing the aperture, the film travels through a film conditioning channel where it is cooled and humidified by a blast of air which has been passed over humidifying pads. Reels arms permit using reels with as much as 1600-foot 1(» mm. film capacity — a full hour's show without a stop! The take-up arm carries its own motor which drives the take-up spindle for projection and for speedy power rewinding. Takeup tension is correctly regulated for reel size and for A.C. or D.C. by means of a rheostat, which also permits cutting out all resistance for speedy power rewinding. The Model 130 may be tilted up or down, for high or low projector positions, by virtue of single handle adjustable legs at front and rear. A feature which immediately strikes the eye is the low, substantial, "non-tippable" appearance, caused by the low "streamline" base and by the placing of the two reels one behind the other rather than one above the other. This design gives a low center of gravity, very desirable in a large-capacity projector. The finish is termed "grey damaskene." It is of a dark silver grey color in crinkle-baked enamel. Fittings are in black and in polished nickel plate. STAGE LIGHTING EQUIPMENT (KLIEGEL) A sixteen-page illustrated booklet, "Bulletin No. 106" featuring all types of photographic studio lighting equipment— including the new ultra-high efficiency Klieglights and several other entirely new units lately placed on the market — has recently been published by their manufacturer. It gives a complete description of the various units, their light control features, their applications, prices, and other interesting details ; also a showing of various optional wiring devices and accessories that are used in conjunction with these lighting units. A number of the units are suitable not only for photographic purposes, but for other lighting applications as well. Copies of the bulletin can be obtained, without charge, by writing to Kliegl Bros., 321 West 50th Street, New York, N. Y. The Camera of World-Wide Service EYEMO BELL & HOWELL COMPANY 0 Stroll through almost any film processing laboratory in the world, and you'll probably find film in work that came out of Eyemo 35 mm. hand cameras. For in every quarter of the globe Eyemos are at work daily, taking movies that demand equipment of extreme portability — expeditions, explorations, stunts, news reels, and shots for major entertainment productions. Eyemo's technically perfect results recommend it for the most exacting jobs. Its versatility, too, measures up to every demand. Spring motor, hand crank, or electric motor drive its mechanism. Loads with 100-foot daylight loading spools, or with 200 and 400-foot external magazines. Seven film speeds (4 to 32 or 8 to 48, including sound speed). Variable area viewfinder. Three-lens turret. Write for descriptive booklet. 1849 Larchmont Ave., Chicago; 11 West 42nd St., New York; 716 North LaBrea Ave., Hollywood; 320 Regent St., London (B&H Co., Ltd.) Established 1907.
