Movie Makers (Jan-May 1928)

A New Era of I The new self-threading projector that has taken the home movie world by storm IT does about everything but talk," was one man's comment the first time he saw the new Kodascope, Model B,in operation. "That thing's human," observed another. And these two remarks give yo'u a pretty good idea of how you are going to be impressed whenjyoz* see this new projector in action. For Kodascope, Model B, is new. It involves new principles; it brings new home movie enjoyment to your fireside; it opens a new era of home projection. Consider, for example, the self-threading mechanism, that new, exclusive feature that immediately stamps the Kodascope, Model B, as a spectacular engineering achievement. By virtue of its loop guides and threading arm, the film threads itself in much less time than it takes to describe the operation. Another exclusive feature is the new framing device which centers the image on the screen without shifting the illuminated area. This refinement eliminates adjustment of the elevating lever after the picture is properly framed. Kodascope, Model B, is equipped with a motor-driven rewind. When the picture is over, presto! — the rewind spins the film back on the supply reel. "Still" pictures are achieved at the touch of a finger, and a heat absorbing screen is inserted between the lamp and the film, insuring adequate protection to the film while the "still" is being shown. Humorous and novel effects may be obtained by running the pictures backward. The motor does not have to be stopped. Simply turn the direction switch from forward to reverse and the picture immediate! vr starts the other way.
