FIRE-PROOF MOTION PICTURE MACHINES This illustration shows the new Klelne Fire-Proof Motion Picture Machine; 1906 Model. Pieturo M«ehln«i ffiKi-- 4 ; L. ' '.■ ^' ■■ ■ ■ ■ •' After a great deal of ezperimentation we have finally evolved a inodel wtiich has not only passed the official Chicago inspection, but has met with the enthusiastic approval of exhibitors to whom the model has been shown. The various features embodied in this machine are intended to . make it tiioroivhly practical as well as fire^proof. Theatres operating in towns which do not require precautions against fire will find this instrument a profitable investment if for no other reason than that it saves Jffilms in case of accidenti and may pre- vent panics. AMONG ITS POINTS OF MERIT ARB: A lamp-house entirely enclosed at all times, yet admitting of all necessary adjustments-of the lamp; equipped with wire net- ting and gauze according to city requirements. An electric lamp whose carbon-holders grip the carbons at all points, making per* feet contact and holding carbons rigid. A lamp-house base which is absolutely impervious to heat. A heat shield between lamp and film, which is lowered by means of a treadle; when the oper-; - ator rdiiisves his foot the shidd returxis iautomatically into place.;- An upper reel-box made of aluminum into which the flame cannot' ' pass if from any cause the film catches fire. A receiving box into- which exposed film passes. At the opening is a trap-door which is closed instantanieonsly by the operirtior ifl case of danger. Four stout j^-inch steel supports* sepatatdy adjustable for inequalities. in the floor, to support the complete machine. The moving pic-' ture mechanism, lamp-house, etc., are placed upon a heavy alum* Inum bed plate which rests upon the receiving film box. The lamp-house slides to the right and left for stereopticon adjust ment. The crank which actuates the motion picture mechanism , is fastened with screws and cannot slip off ^while in use. The motic^ jpictdre miechaiiism is the B&mi /I^ Modeli equipped with our special long, short or miediimi distance lenses, for stereopticon and moving pictures; as may be selected. But other mechanism can be^ used. The receiving film box is stoutly braiiced; "tiie entire iiuuchniii? 16 Strdng, and will run ^^oni'viSra* tion.
