Inspection Projector Hollywood Film Company, 956 No. Seward St., Hollywood 38, Calif., announces a new, high-speed inspec¬ tion projector for use by him labor¬ atories to inspect release prints before they leave the lab. The projector is available in either 16mm or 35mm models and is mounted on a modern designed base which allows the oper¬ ator to easily and quickly make height adjustments. The 16mm machine runs at 144 feet per minute which is four times normal speed. Two picture frames are viewed simultaneously together with the per¬ foration and sound track areas. The 35mm machine runs at 165 feet per minute and can be speeded up by the mere change of pulleys. This unit views one frame at a time. 16mm Bench Editor Direct front-projection 16mm editing by means of a small bench or table mounted unit has been announced by S.O.S. Photo-Cine-Optics, Inc., 602 W. 52nd St., New York 19, N. Y. The device, measuring 7x6x7 inches, is de¬ signed to project a steady image for viewing by a number of persons simul¬ taneously. Called the S.O.S. Projectola, it consists of a four-element projection lens with the front objective 40mm in diameter, a rotating 8-sided prism, and surface mirror, all of which are dustproof encased. Cleaning of optics is done through a high-speed locking de¬ vice at the film gate. Film guiding elements have grooves for the picture and sound track to pro¬ tect the film and insure uniformly sharp pictures with forward, reverse or still projection. The gate maintains focus. An AC transformer for 110/240 volts feeds a 25-watt, 6V lamp, which is adjustable from outside. ■ 200 AMERICAN CINEMATOGRAPHER. APRIL, 1963
