CH. II] SUMMARY FOR ALTERNATING CURRENT LANTERNS 77 7. Focus the screen image with special care when using alternating current lest the two sources of light produce a doubling of the screen image. 8. Use opera-glasses, if necessary, for focusing sharply a distant screen image (§38). 9. Look out for shadows on the screen. Center carefully and remove all causes for shadows (§83-93). 7. Do not forget the greater need for accurate focusing with an alternating current lamp, on account of the double source of light. 8. Do not forget the advantage in using opera-glasses for focusing if the screen distance is great. 9. Do not permit any defect in the management of the lantern, suspended strings, etc., to give shadows on the screen. 10. Study the "Troubles" in § 116-118, and 62-98. 10. Do not neglect any of the causes for "Troubles."
