follow speak for themselves and need no explaining: A report from UNESCO stated that the number of 16-mm. projectors required for China amount to 50,000, and for India 30,000. For every three manufacturers producing 16-mm. projectors before the war there are now nearly twenty. 16-mm. films are now being shown in Tibet, Central Africa, Ust Yurt, Alaska, the East Indies, the Outer Hebrides, the Isle of Sark, and at Chinwangtao. They are also being shown to the natives of those countries now being invaded by bulldozers, growers of groundnuts, and diggers of thorium. They are being shown, in fact, wherever and whenever the spirit of enterprise moves forward. The present growth of 16-mm. is, indeed, the biggest thing which has happened since the introduction of "talkies." We hope that the reader who is commercially-minded has already picked himself a place on the ground floor, and that the teacher will not be slow to use the new machines now becoming available.

The short cut to knowledge of any subject is by asking questions, and in this section the author provides the answers to what may be considered the "representative questions" asked by the average newcomer to cine projection, and which may serve to illustrate succeeding subjects.
Q. I wish to purchase a small projector for use at home — chiefly to show the films I have taken with my new 16-mm. cine camera. I should also like to use it for showing entertainment films, though I'm not sure whether such films are available for the private user. What kind of projector should I ask for}
A. The projector you need will be one specially constructed for 16-mm. films, and all you have to do is merely to ask for a 16-mm. machine, and, one that will satisfy your needs. As you wish to show entertainment films one of your projector-needs will be spool-arms capable of carrying 1,600 feet of film, as the majority of library entertainment films are spooled-up in 1,600 feet lengths. You will have no difficulty in getting the films, and you may join one or more of the 300 odd film libraries now to be found in Britain. The cost of hire varies from 2/6d. to 17 /6d. per reel (400 feet) per day.
