Twenty AMERICAN CINBM ATOGRAPHER February, 1926 Harry D. Brown Introduces New Iris for Cinema Work By special arrangement with C. S. Worth, Harry D. Brown has become sole distributor of a new iris device for motion picture cameras. This invention is principally a shading and matting device and is announced to be quite an improvement over the original iris. It is already in use and it is claimed that it gives a picture greater volume and depth. It can be attached to any type camera and contains a matting device in the form of slides which come in gauze and solids, which are already within the attachment, leaving no separate pieces to be carried. To facilitate rapid handling of double exposures the whole device is built to move universally and can be used for any lens from 26 millimeters to 6 inches. It has a bellows extension, filter holders, sky filter, gauze matbox, four-way sliding gauzes and four-way solid matting plates. The iris is 4j/> inches in diameter and clears perfectly on 28 millimeter lens, closing out entirely. The theory of the new iris is that light rays do not travel in a straight line, but have a rolling motion from sides and bottom, therefore making necessary a shading device that would reach a greater depth of picture and so concentrate the light rays. This is accomplished with a specially constructed hood with numerous light traps and which is removable from the instrument.
