Newest light in the recently announced Quartz-King line, the 1000 produces more than 860 foot-candles of smooth even light at 10 feet! Utilizing the Sylvania "DXN" 1000-watt 3400°K quartz-iodine lamp, in a reflector of a brilliant new design, the Quartz-King 1000 produces a round pattern of light, perfectly smooth, without hot spots, without banding, and without filament pattern. Never before has so much usable light been available in a housing as compact and as light as the 1000! The Quartz-King 1000 operates directly from standard 110/120 volt outlets. Intensity is maintained because the quartz-lamp will not discolor or dim during its entire life, and the reflector will never tarnish. The Quartz-King 1000 is available in two basic models; Universal Yoke and Integral Mogul Screw Base, with either medium or wide flood reflectors. WITH UNIVERSAL YOKE LQK/10MY Medium Flood LQK/10WY Wide Flood Specially designed yoke permits mounting on 5/s" dia. lighit stands, horizontal or vertical bars. '/4-20 thread for tripod mounting. 240" vertical tilt. Adjust¬ able for horizontal or vertical lamp orientation. Sup¬ plied with 10 ft. 3-wire heavy duty safety-grounded cable with in-the-line switch and 3-to-2 prong adapter. WITH INTEGRAL MOGUL SCREW BASE IQK/10MM Medium Flood LQK/10WM Wide Flood Allows use of QUARTZ-KING in any lamp or housing designed for mogul base lamps. Supplied with adapter for medium screw base sockets. WRITE FOR ILLUSTRATED LITERATURE 630 S. FLOWER STREET BURBANK, CALIF. • VICTORIA 9-5991 INDUSTRY NEWS Continued from Page 6 lighting effects, and composition of motion-picture scenes before beginning actual photography. A paper by Charles W. Baker and Earl W. Kage of Kodak Research La¬ boratories, in the December '‘Journal of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers,' describes the technique, which gives results com¬ parable to those obtained with large, continuous-processing machines. Processing equipment consists of a hanger for a 12-inch strip of 16mm or 35mm film with an attached vane agitator. The apparatus is shaped to fit the graduated, glass cylinders con¬ taining processing solutions. Blackand-white film can be viewed wet after 10 minutes of processing with the equipment in standard solutions at 75 degrees F. The hanger permits easy loading of film while the , vane agitator makes possible an unvarying agitation rate from batch to batch, even with dif¬ ferent operators. Repeatability of the process means that the developed film strips will be within limits for visually determining the results possible with continuous film processing machines, the paper points out. Although there are differences be¬ tween strip-processed and machineprocessed films, enough information is available in strip-processed films to make them valuable, even when the user has a minimum of evaluation ex¬ perience. Details not seen in the shadow areas of the strip-processed negatives probably will not be seen in color prints made from the color negatives. 70mm Cinemas Gain In Japan There were 55 motion picture thea¬ tres in Japan equipped for screening 70mm films as of June 30th. 1962. With seven more theatres currently under construction the total is expected to reach 70 by mid-January, according to Uni Japan Film Quarterly, Japanese film industry trade publication. Since the introduction of the first 70mm American film “Oklahoma” in 1956, the number of 70mm theatres in Japan has been rapidly increasing, and today ultra-wide-screen films may be seen in 32 major cities.
