Manufacturers Aid
Projector and lens manufacturers are now in a position to supply the projectionist with equipment which will enable him to get the utmost out of the present two-dimension picture. More important, still, the exhibitor is beginning to realize the necessity for expensive projection equipment and high grade lenses and is willing to buy them. A great step forward has been made by several exchanges in their method of checking the condition of their film, thus assuring that prints delivered to the projectionist are in proper condition for projection. The work of the Paramount exchanges along these lines has been especially notable and deserves the hearty appreciation of the industry as a whole. The effects of this work will be far reaching.
The Future
These, and many other things, are indications of the change that is taking place in the standard of projection as practiced in this country. The possibilities in this field are
now attracting the favorable attention of the college trained man, and unless the average projectionist now employed in this work lays out for himself, and adheres to, an immediate and intensive course of study and application along technical lines, he will awake some day to discover that the whole structure of the craft has changed over night and that he is still living in the yesterday.

3. Pinakryptol Green.
Pinakryptol green has about the same general desensitizing power as phenosafranine but is more effective with panchromatic emulsions. It has no effect on the latent image when used immediately before, or during development, and does not affect the keeping properties of a developer.
It has a slight but distinct fogging action, however, and if used for too long a time or in too high a concentration as a preliminary bath undesirable fog may be produced. As ordinarily used this is not serious. The chief advantage of pinakryptol green is the fact that it does not tend to stain gelatin and so washes out of the emulsions very easily. It is colorless in a yellowish green light and so can be used very advantageously to develop panchromatic films withthe Series 4 Wratten Safelight. The
