PROJECTION LAMP THE WORLD'S FINEST and MOST POWERFUL PREPARE YOURSELF NOW FOR THE FUTURE Do not make the mistake of buying Projection Lamps which may not be adequate for your future requirements. There are no standards now. Film widths vary from 35mm to 70mm. The equipment you buy should be capable of projecting both of these and anything in between, with equal perfection — with no further expense. There is only one lamp that will do this— THE ASHCRAFT SUPER CINEX *1. The only projection lamp using one reflector for all film widths 35-55-65-70mm. (No relay lenses whatever are necessary). *2. The only lamp using a heat transmitting reflector for both 35mm and 70mm. *3. The only lamp producing maximum light and maximum screen light coverage simultaneously — no hot spot under any circumstances. Maximum light and distribution are obtained regardless of film width or height. These are the four principal aperture sizes now being used and contemplated for the near future. By the simple, instantaneous process of moving the positive carbon crater toward or away from the reflector a fraction of an inch the aperture spot size will be enlarged from the smallest spot shown (1-1/16" diameter) to the largest (2-1/4" dia.) and the selected position will be constantly maintained. Isn't this much better than changing reflectors and relay lenses ev.ry time the aperture spot size is varied? These are the possible aperture sizes your lamps should cover and the sizes of the aperture light spot SUPER CINEX will give you. ^-" This is the approximate screen light with excellent distribution you will * s obtain* with all four aperture sizes: Lumens .825 k .600 Small Aperture 35mm 35,700< .839 .912 .715 .715 , CinemaScope 35mm 42,000-< 1.340 x 1.06 Fox CinemaScope 55mm 49,572 < M.G.M. 65mm Todd-AO 70mm 45,200 < *The quality and f value of the projection lens may increase or decrease these values.
