Altogether, the R.C.A. 201 is a readily portable two-case deluxe equipment. One case contains the speaker, spool-arms and spares, together with the speaker-cable and power-cable. The other case contains the projector-amplifier unit. The front of the projector case is held in place by four heavy clasp-locks, and is completely removable for equipment operation. An automatically-operated spring-device on the carrying-handle prevents the handle from resting over the projection lamphouse. The speaker-case is designed to operate with the back cover closed, thus protecting the unit from dust and dirt, and, at the same time, eliminating the effects of the acoustical variations that occur when the conventional open-type speaker-case is located near walls, floors and corners of rooms. The built-in acoustically-engineered speaker-unit assures uniform performance under varied operating conditions.

The user will also appreciate the theatrical framing device. Instant accessibility for cleaning both aperture-plate and filmchannel is provided by the 180 degrees swing-out lens-mount. It is made to open as a gate should, and the operator can plainly see what he is doing when cleaning it. The discerning will also appreciate the highly efficient coolingsystem. A motor-driven fan forces the air in a spiral path around the lamp and between multiple walls of the lamphouse, thus preventing over-heating of the projector-mechanism and allowing the most powerful lamps to be used with perfect safety. The Victor is equipped for both silent and sound film-speeds, "still" pictures, and for reverse action. The reverse-switch may be used without having to stop the motor first — something that 167
