Union Carbide from page 11 Products Division development laboratories now in Niagara Falls. N. Y. ; Fostoria. Ohio: and Lawrenceburg. Tenn. In addition to the consolidation of development activities, those existing departments responsible for division-wide engineering, quality control, and customer technical services will be incorporated in the technical center. The center, when completed, will occupy about 175.000 sq. ft. of space. The machining operations of specialty graphite and carbon products, now being done at the Cleve America's headquarters lor all theatre equipment supplies IV I _M_™ I THEATRE SUPPLY COMPANY land site, will be combined, in expanded facilities, with the division's other specialty machining operations in Niagara Falls. Carbon brushes are important components in industrial and railroad motors and generators and in electrical household appliances. Carbon seal rings are used in steam turbines, jet engines, and pumps for industrial and household use. Union Carbide's Carbon Products Division (formerly National Carbon Company ) has pioneered in the fields of manufactured carbon and graphite. Among its many products are the giant electrodes used in electric furnaces; arc carbons used in motion picture photography, and theatre projection, solar simulation and other special lighting; graphite cloth and fibers; and activated carbon. New forms of graphite have been developed for nuclear and aerospace applications. The division also produces special high-temperature refractory materials. iP Kodak Appoints Simmons To Los Angeles Post Norwood L.

I TELEPHONE— AREA 312— ES 8-1636 £1§3 14 Midwest Gets First Twin-Screen Theatre CHICAGO — Construction is underway on Evergreen Theatres I & II, the Midwest's first indoor twin-screen motion picture theatre. Twin-screen design will permit simultaneous showing of two different films. Evergreen Theatres I & II will bring a new look in motion picture presentation, convenience and comfort to the Chicago area. The building will house a central lobby with two auditoriums which will allow the presentation of two feature films. Though there are a number of double outdoor drive-ins, the movement of the twin screens indoors represents a new direction in theater design. The theater will be supported on stilts that serve not only to elevate the theater to the same level as Carson Pirie Scott & Company, the adjacent store, and its parking deck, but to allow for a parking area directly underneath the structure. This will allow theatre-goers to avoid inclement weather and brings the total number of free parking facilities to over 5,000 when combined with other areas in the shopping center. Continuous malls make Evergreen Theatres I & II available from all buildings in the center and eliminate the need for changing levels while shopping and theater-going. Target date for completion of the theaters is mid-June. 1964. iP Oxberry Changes Name NEW YORK— Oxberry Corp., is the new name for the Animation Equipment Corp., 38 Hudson St., New Rochelle, N. Y. Oxberry will continue to be the trade name for all company products. Ownership, management and financial responsibility are in no way affected by the name change. Up to seven years ago, the company's chief products were animation stands and Oxberry animation cameras. Today, the firm makes optical printers, film strip equipment, special projectors and several types of process cameras besides animation stands. The Oxberry precision film movement is featured on most of the company's products which are engineered to meet exacting specifications for photographic applications in scientific, industrial and government fields. An expansion of Oxberry s engineering staff is planned in order to speed development on a number of new concepts and designs. iP International Projectionist February, 1964
