National Speaker Reconing Co. To Enter Distribution Field

electronic schools. He was in the radio and television servicing business for music and TV shops for about ten years. About five years ago he entered the drive-in theatre speaker I’econing business which has continued to prosper. Although the business was moved into larger quarters about two years ago, a new expansion may be required as even these quarters are now none too large.
“Since the day we first started our business we have continued to strive for the best in parts, workmanship and service. The cloth cone used in our reconed drive-in theatre speakers has spelled success for us,” Horn said. “All parts used are waterproof and moistureproof, and every speaker is guaranteed for one full year from the date of reconing against defective parts and workmanship.
“We try to give 24-hour service on speakers, which at times is quite difficult, but we keep as close to this policy as possible.”
Daytime Use of Drive-Ins
The greatest problem of drive-ins, according to Judy Poynter of Film Booking Service, is what to do with them in the daytime. Film Booking Service is going allout to research this problem and do something about it. Although no plans are definitely set, in the blueprint stage are ideas which will include using the drive-in for meeting places for churches, clubs, birthday parties for kids fon the playgrounds) and parties for small groups, both social and civic.
Poynter says that most speaker loss is accidental — a customer accidentally tears a speaker loose, then is too emban-assed to report it and usually drops the speaker right outside the drive-in grounds.

“Remarkable Reliability”
At New York’s famed Radio City Music Hall, chief projectionist Ben Olevsky put it this way. “The reliability of the Simplex X-L projector is remarkable. Our projectors were installed by National Theatre Supply in 1950 and have been maintained by our staff since then. In 11 years of operation they have never been removed for overhaul!” Similar opinions and experiences are reported all the time by projection "pros” like Ben at most top theatres throughout the country. The facts are that no other mechanism on the market is designed and built to the engineering perfection achieved in the X-L. Incorporating every new advance in projection, the X-L is your assurance that you’ll have a dependable, up-to-date projector for many years to come.
