audio ;ind control cquipnicnt was installed including a multi-channel punch tape programmer. To allow for quick transfer of usage from one room to another, the equipment was installed in proper alignment to the screen in each room. The rear of the classrooms were divided off into projection booths with a large horizontal glass window through which all images are projected, keeping noise out of the rooms themselves. The projection counter is movable for quick use in either room (see diagram ) . The only permanently installed items in each room are screens, loud speakers and control system wiring. The wiring was installed in both rooms with plug-in connections in the projection booth for the equipment counter, and at the front of the room for the instructor's remote panel. Speakers on either side of the screens provide stereo sound. The screens themselves were custom built from masonite sheets 40" high and 120" wide. They were painted with several coats of white paint and installed a few inches out from the front wall and tilted downward slightly to eliminate keystone projection. The wall behind the screen was painted flat black to "kill" any image that overshot the screen, thus the projectors were arranged to completely fill the screen and bleed over all edges. The images actually appear to be floating in space and the effect is pleasant and allows great flexibility. The basic projection format offers a single centered image from either 1 6mm motion pictures or slides. However the ability to project dual side-by-side images from slides is being used more and more as new training programs are created in the bank. With these dual images, comparisons can be shown, or static information retained on one side of the screen while changing data can be presented from a sequence of slides alongside. It is also possible to show two images side-by-side that fill the entire 10' width of the screen with what appears to be a single panorama picture. All of these techniques are being used successfully in the various training presentations being used by the bank.
