Cinerama, Altec Service Conclude Agreement NEW YORK — Negotiations have been successfully concluded between Gerhard Lessman, Vice President of Cinerama, Inc. and R. E. Pierce, Operating Manager of Altec Service Corporation, a subsidiary of LingTemco-Vought, Inc., giving Altec the responsibility of supervising the installation of equipment in new Cinerama theatres through the continental United States. Installation responsibility will include screen, curtains, projection and sound systems. At his Anaheim, Calif, office, George L. Carrington, Jr., General Manager of Altec Service Corporation stated: "We are extremely proud to have been selected for this large responsibility. We feel that our continued policy of primary attention to the motion picture industry, our engineering knowledge and experience on all of the latest techniques has, again, proven of value to the trade." iP Soldier Develops New Projection, Filming Process Korea — A postage stamp picture on an envelope-sized screen are things of the past because of a new motion picture filming process and revolutionary projecting technique copyrighted by Pfc. Clarence B. Fletcher, on duty here with the U. S. Army. The process features the use of the anamorphic lens, similar to the image-squeezers of cinemascope, and either a telephoto, wide-angle or normal lens in 8mm filming. The zoomar lens (of the same type which allows TV to move quickly from normal views to close-up ) and the anamorphic lens are used simultaneously during projection to give a permanently fixed and focused picture regardless of the projector's location. Super-Cogitation-8 is a boon to TV producers and has potentialities for C-Z movie makers using the 8mm film process. iP Projection Make-ready For Drive-ins Continued from page 12 3. PICTURE MECHANISMS Follow the manufacturer's instructions, depending on make and model. Use oil liberally on the gear side of old-style mechanisms, but guard against soiling the projector. Oil the rear shutter bearings. Refill automatically lubricated mechanisms with fresh oil after flushing out old oil. Lubricate the cleaned gear teeth (A3) with a light application of gear grease, except in automatically lubricated mechanisms. Use gear grease on the chains of chain-drive mechanisms and takeups. ( Gear grease is sticky — oil or ordinary grease is thrown off when the machine runs.) Bearings of the Motiograph AA require no lubrication at any time. Flush out and refill oil wells of Simplex-type intermittents, but do not risk soiling the machine by overfilling. Inject grease into Motiograph intermittents, AA as well as the Ff and K models. On the operator's side, place one or two drops of projector oil in the idler oil holes. Lightly oil the gate carriage, lens focusing device, and framing carriage parts. 4. SOUNDHEADS AND MOTOR Lubricate drive-gear bearings, universal transmissions, and projector motor according to the manufacturer's instructions. Gear teeth should be lubricated with grease, as in B3. iP ASH CRAFT CORE-LIGHT SUPER CINEX CINEX SPECIAL PROJECTION LAMPS And HIGH RECTANCE MULTI-PHASE RECTIFIERS World's Standard of Projection Excellence CARBON ARCS . . . for finest Projection . . .
