This same idea applies to the construction of the Edison Kientoscope has produced a machine which for clear, steady projection and freedom from repairs, has no equal. Hardened tool steel has been used just where other machines wear and extra heavy construction has been applied to all parts which are subject to heavy strain. The Edison is the evolution of countless experiments which have enabled us to avoid all defects, large and small, that handicap the exhibitor. Get an Edison and insure yourself against annoyance and delay. IN CONSTRUc^TlON All metal baseboards. Extra heavy mitre gears on Revolving Shutter, Cam and Automatic Shutter Shafts.
