Arrange Distribution for
Ashcraft Automatic Arc
Contracts have been signed by Hurry D. Brown, Hollywood electrical engineer, and Clarence Ashcraft, inventor, giving the former the world rights to the handling and distribution of the Ashcraft automatic arc. This device, revolutionary in motion picture lighting equipment, is used in high intensity spotlights and sun-arcs. It is manufactured under General Electric as well as Ashcraft patents.
Following the consummation of this deal, the Metropolitan and Cecil De Mille Studios purchased $25,000 worth of 80 ampere spots and sun-arcs, which sale was followed by large orders to Fox and Universal running into the many thousands, it is said.
Brown plans to make Hollywood the distributing point for this important cinemamaking product. He will immediately establish agencies in New York and Europe. First National Pictures are already using these lamps both here and in New York.
