The 9.5-mm. Pathe 'Ace' Projector
This popular projector is the smallest and least expensive of the Pathescope models, and its selling price is just over £5. It is basically little more than a toy, but this does not mean that it has been 'cheaply' made. To start off with, it is solidly built with high-pressure castings, and its optical system has been designed on the best cinematographic principles.
The Ace is fitted with a 3-blade shutter and is remarkably free from flicker. There are two models: One is a transformer machine designed to operate on 200/250 A.C. mains, and the other is a Universal resistance model for use on either D.C. or A.C. 200/250-volt mains. But these voltages are, of course, for the lamp only — there is no motor, and the machine is normally cranked by hand. The whole outfit is complete with lamp, flex, transformer or resistance, and one spare spool.
Also available, however, is a complete unit for motorising the projector. This can be fitted in a few moments without alteration to the projector, and it includes the driving belt, pulley wheel and the necessary connection leads. The motor (constant-speed singlephase synchronous type), has been carefully designed to give normal projection at 16 frames per second.
Yet another important accessory is the new Type A.D. projector lamp, which when used with the Ace, will produce 60% more light. As the use of this lamp requires a little more power, a separate transformer to go with it can be purchased at the same time.
Existing transformers can be exchanged for the new model at less than half price. — Pathescope Ltd., North Circular Road, London, N.W.2.
