We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

226 The Audio-Visual Handbook SCREEN IMAGE TABLES For 35 mm. Filmstrips The size of the screen image is governed by the equivalent focal length of the lens and the distance the projector is placed from the screen. The following table applies when double-frame film is shown. This table shows the size of picture (in feet and decimals) obtained on the screen with a given focal length lens at a given distance, using horizontal frames. The proportions are merely reversed when showing vertical frames, therefore square screens are recommended. Equivalent DISTANCE FROM MACHINE TO SCREEN Focal Length of Lens 10' 15' 20' 25' 30' 35' 40' 45' 50' o 3.0 4.6 4.5 6.8 6.0 9.0 7.6 11.4 9.1 13.6 10.5 15.8 12.1 18.2 13.6 20.4 14.9 22.4 4" 2.3 3.4 3.4 5.0 4.5 6.8 5.8 8.8 6.8 10.2 7.9 11.8 9.1 13.6 10.2 15.2 11.2 16.8 5" 1.8 2.6 2.7 4.0 3.6 5.4 4.6 7.0 5.4 8.0 6.4 9.6 7.3 11.0 8.2 12.4 9.0 13.6 6" 1.5 2.2 2.3 3.4 3.0 4.6 3.8 5.8 4.5 6.8 5.3 8.0 6.1 9.2 6.8 10.2 7.5 11.5 7" 1.3 1.9 1.9 2.9 2.6 3.9 3.3 4.9 3.9 5.9 4.5 6.8 5.2 7.8 5.8 8.7 6.4 9.6 The following screen images are obtained from single-frame film at the same distances with given focal length lenses: 3" 2.3 3.0 3.4 4.5 4.5 6.0 5.7 7.6 6.8 9.1 7.9 10.5 9.1 12.1 10.2 13.6 11.2 14.9 4" 1.7 2.3 2.5 3.4 3.4 4.5 4.4 5.8 5.1 6.8 5.9 7.9 6.8 9.1 7.6 10.2 8.4 11.2 5" 1.3 1.8 2.0 2.7 2.7 3.6 3.5 4.6 4.0 5.4 4.8 6.4 5.5 7.3 6.2 8.2 6.8 9.0 6" 1.1 1.5 1.7 2.3 2.3 3.0 2.9 3.8 3.4 4.5 4.0 5.3 4.6 6.1 5.1 6.8 5.6 7.5 Short focal length lenses should be used when pictures are shown through translucent screens, but such screens are not recommended unless absolutely necessary.
