Several varieties of 8mm spell opportunity, but also problems, for the professional projectionist
The International Motion Picture and Television Committee, motion picture equipment manufacturers, film producers and representatives of the Ministry of National Education recently attended a Continental symposium on a new 8mm film size.
Audio-visual education is constantly being extended to new fields, in particular that of educational motion picture which is, by far, its most important aspect. In the latter field, 16mm sound film has been used for a long time and before World War II the Institute Pedagogique National had already conceived and enforced rules for testing projectors for teaching.

8mm Sound Film
However, while 16mm sound film was standing out in audio-visual education, many professors (in applied sciences, in particular) were becoming keen promoters of 8mm film, which enabled them to show their own work to their pupils.
Then, three years ago, 8mm film prints obtained by a reduction process with magnetic track between sprocket holes and film edge were introduced. The outstanding results achieved immediately induced manufacturers to start designing conventional type 8mm sound projectors.
The most recent achievements were shown at the Photokina in Koln and the Salon Photo-Cinema in Paris where many types manufactured in particular in the United States, Ger
many, Japan, Italy and France were exhibited.
Magazine Type Projector
As a matter of fact, this promomotion of 8mm film as an audiovisual aid led teachers to ask for a high quality automatic projector doing away with the inconvenience and loss of time caused by the setting up of a projector unit of conventional design.
A magazine projector was designed and introduced two years ago by Technicolor Ltd. (London) for short silent filmstrips. The members of the meeting had the opportunity of seeing a demonstration with an American Fairchild projector having
