Automatic Balancer and Resistance Unit. could have been obtained by any of the following arrangements: 1. 88 Type 170 run in series-parallel. 2. 31 Type 1450 ("Brutes") in parallel. 3. 60 Type 1450 (" Brutes ") in seriesparallel. The 121 " Duarcs " and twin arcs have been replaced by 68 M.R. Type 461 5-Kw Compact Source Floods [" Dumbo ")6 and, as in this scene no " Duarc " was used singly, there can be no doubt about the desirability of the change. The selection of the alternative spots will, of course, depend on the needs of the lighting cameraman as regards the number and relative power of lights, and he would probably use a combination of two or all three systems. Assuming that the total lighting cost is proportioned as in Table III. the adoption of " Dumbo " in combination with the above equipment would have the results shown in Table V. It will be seen that the potential saving ranges from a minimum of 27% to a maximum of 44%, and there should therefore be no difficulty in obtaining an actual saving TABLE V Possible Lighting Rigs for " Red Shoes " Scene Total Lights Current Cost As Shot 68 "Dumbos" + 88 M.R.
