Reel and Slide (Jan-Sep 1919)

32 REEL and SLIDE New " Projectalite" Adapts Any Projector to Mazda The "Projectalite" Adapter Rutledge & Co., Crilley Building, Chicago, have just placed on the market a marvelously simple device by which any moving picture projector may be quickly and easily adapted for the use of Mazda lights. The ProjectA-Lite devices furnish an acceptable and profitable manner of changing the standard carbon arc lamphouse into an up-to-date Mazda projection outfit, at a great saving to the exhibitor. It is a complete unit, with ampere regulating transformer or rheostat, lamp adapter, and an extra quick change lamp holder, to be used in case any accident should cause the lamp to break while in service. The transformer is simple in its construction, accurate in its performance and gives an ideal "fade" from one reel to the other by use of its double pole, double throw knife_ switch and its dual function of transforming the voltage and regulating the amperage accurately. One ProjectA-Lite transformer is sufficient to operate two motion picture machines situated in the same booth. It is impossible to overload it, because but one lamp is on the circuit at one time, yet the change is made so quickly from one machine to the other that the light on the screen is not dimmed by the changeover. The entire operation of connecting or disconnecting the Project-A-Lite need not consume over two minutes' lime and any operator can install it. The regulating transformer is built standard for 60 cycles A. C. with ranges of voltage from 90 volts to 115 volts or from 105 to 130 volts, to suit local operating conditions. The Project-A-Lite adapter is manufactured to meet the demand for a Mazda Lamp Adapter that is simple to install, accurate and effective. It is quickly adapted to standard motion picture lamp houses, simply by removing the lower carbon jaw and inserting adapter into jaw holder. The method used in adjusting the lamp to a proper position relative to the rear condenser mounting and the means of making the adjustment are the same as now used to adjust the carbons. You use the same handles in the same way they are now used and you get the same results. This makes operation easy. The same wires that are now used to energize the carbons are used to energize the lamps. Nicholas Power Co.
