Bausch & Lomb Optical Company Double Dissolving Model C Balopticon with Moving Picture Attachment Figure 10 — Double Dissolving Model C Balopticon with Power’s No. 6a Mechanism This is an ideal outfit for Y. M. C. A., church, school or college auditoriums, affording unusually attractive possibilities for entertainment and educational purposes. It permits one to combine regular dissolving views in lecture work with moving pictures in a very pleasing manner, since it provides for instant interchange betv een the two.
