These lamps are equipped with 21 in. silver mirrors and for the projection of both his 35MM and 70MM prints he uses the D -j F liquid heat reducing filters with dichroic coatings, also a Research Council development, and shown directly mounted on the lampbouse on (he side-view of Figure 3. Needless to say that this liquid filter is recommended for all high power installations, since its heat absorption is the most effective known so far and will not only protect the 35 and 70MM prints but eliminate focus drift as well. Another view of such filter installation is shown on Figure 4. and the liquid heat filter itself is seen on Figure 5.
