12 Some Modern Equipment
This Chapter briefly describes a number of modern projectors and some allied equipment, but although the list is not a complete one of all the machines now available, it is representative of the equipment now in use or about to be used in Britain. The list is also fairly representative of both the expensive and relatively cheaper models, and it is hoped that the reader will gain in knowledge from their functions and descriptions now explained. But first we must mention that new machines are coming onto the market so fast that it has been impossible to list them all, and a number of perhaps equally good machines have been omitted.
Quite a few new projectors have made their appearance since this book was started, and sections of the book have been rewritten in order to bring the instructions up-to-date.
A large number of new devices and accessories have also made their appearance in recent years, and some of them are reviewed in this chapter.
Among the new machines are some with new devices and of revolutionary design, whilst others are so simply constructed that it would seem that nothing could be easier than to set them up and operate them without instructions. Among the latter is a new machine which cannot be operated the wrong way — if you do the wrong thing nothing will happen, it's as simple as that. And the plugs and attachments can only be put together the right way. But do not skip this review, for the descriptions are purposely designed to give the reader further instruction.
Among the new inventions are some destined to make 16 m.m. shows of the future every bit as good as those at your local cinema.
