Bausch & Lo mb Optical C o m p a n y New Combined Balopticon with 1000-Watt Mazda Lamp Model CRM This new Balopticon is designed for the projection of opaque objects and lantern slides with instant interchange between the two forms. The instrument marks a new era in the projection of opaque objects on a large scale by reason of the adoption of an incandescent lamp as illuminant. It is the first apparatus of its kind upon the market and has proved remarkably popular from its introduction. This Combined Balopticon is fitted with a specially constructed, 1000-watt, gas-filled Mazda stereopticon lamp, which represents the highest development so far attained in this branch of illuminating engineering. Since, unlike the arc, the lamp is enclosed, it can be brought very close to the object without danger. By means of a mirror with very high optical corrections an unusually large percentage of the available spherical candle power is utilized. 50
