JANUARY, 1932 Page 29 The key to better sound projection — for operators on all types of equipment. This new book makes easy the successful operation and repair of all makes of sound projection apparatus, by explaining simply and clearly the fundamentals of sound reproduction and projection upon which all types of equipment are based. — Just published — PROJECTING SOUND PICTURES By AARON NADELL Publix Theatre Corporation; Formerly of Electrical R^seTch Products, Inc. 265 pages, 6x9, 100 illustrations, $2.50 Whether you are a sound projectionist by profession or only occasionally work on sound equipment, you will find this an invaluable handbook, presenting the fundamentals that will enable you to understand the problems arising in the operation and repair of all makes of sound equipment. Beside explaining the theory of sound reproduction on disc and film, the book takes up each unit of the sound equipment, explaining the underlying theory and principles, showing by description and illustration how these are applied in various types of apparatus. At the same time the author points out the common troubles associated with each unit and the remedies for them. In addition a chapter is devoted to precautions to take to prevent trouble and another on tracing trouble and correcting it. Because of its value in forming a clear understanding of the operation of tubes and photo-electric cells, the electron theory of the nature of currents is explained, in a surprisingly simple way. The book is thorough, authoritative, practical. It minimizes constructional details of various makes of equipment in favor of the basic facts that will enable you to understand all makes.
