Aug., 1944 STEREOPTICON PROJECTOR 105 The first step of accomplishment — that of color print duplication — was taken over by Earle Morgan and Roy Peck, heading up Paramount's Still Processing Department and they have, after many difficulties, ably surmounted most of the problems of copying, contrast control and color correction. The paper entitled "Duplication of Kodachrome Transparencies for Background Projection" was presented by Mr. Morgan.1 The second step and problem of transferring the duplicates has been very successfully accomplished by Barton H. Thompson of our Engineering Department, who has developed a rapid special control technique. The paper entitled "Kodachrome Transfer" was presented by Mr. Thompson, research engineer.2 The number three step — that of engineering and constructing the unit — has been ably mastered by A. C. Zoulis, Chief Engineer of Paramount Engineering Department; Wilbur Silvertooth; Larry Brunswick; and the personnel of the Transparency Department. Were it not for the intelligent effort and perseverance of all these technicians, our stereopticons would have remained a difficult problem. We have two of these units and have already utilized them in singleand dual-color projection. With the constantly increasing production of color motion pictures we feel we are on the right track to accomplish better results in color stereopticon transparencies. REFERENCES 1 MORGAN, E.
