The Educational screen (c1922-c1956])

May, 193 5 Page 147 Bell & Howell Equipment Catalog Bell &• Howell Company has just issued a 16 nini. projector catalog- which is of especial interest to all concerned with motion picture projection because of the astovuiding progress in projection equipment which is reflected in its jiages. Illustrated and de- scribed is the new, powerful Filmo Auditorium Projector, the first and thus far the only 16 mm. projector to employ a 1000-watt lamp. It takes 1600-foot reels, and thus has sufficient film capacity for giving a one-hour program without rethreading. Also presented are the new 750-watt projector, moderately priced, l:)ut also offering 1600-foot film capacity, the Filmo JS, fully gear driven, even to feed and take-up spindles, with 400-foot film capac- ity and 750-watt illumination. The Filmo S 750- and 500-watt projectors, priced remarkably low for machines of Bell & Howell quality, are also in- cluded, to say nothing of the Bell & Howell 16 mm. sound-on-film reproducer, and the B&H Con- tinuous Projection Attachments, used commercially with both silent and sound projectors. This compact 16 page catalog will be sent free of charge on request to Bell & Howell Company. Activities of Visual Education Agencies (Concluded from fiai/c 127) High School, any school desirous of affiliating itself with the project, purchases and deposits a 16mm. film in the Visual Aids library and pays a service fee of $5.00 per year. This entitles the school to unlimited use of the 16mm. films and glass slides during the year. Inasmuch as the average life of a film which is booked once a week is approximately two years, schools are asked to deposit a film every two years. Excellent classroom films may be purchased at $24.00 per reel, and therefore the total yearly cost to a school is approximately $17.00 per year. With the beginning of the second year of the plan there are available to member schools more than 150 reels of 16mm. film. This service is in addition to unlimited use of glass slides, while a small additional fee entitles the member school to 35mm. films also. 1/ Kansas and Colorado have pooled their ■Kansas and resources and extended their service to Colorado other states as well. The Universities of "'*" these two states has each its own film library. A joint catalog lists all the films in both, in- dicating in each case the University in which it is stored. For a flat fee, which ranges according to the extent of the service to be rendered, schools in any nearby state may avail themselves of the materials pf both libraries. Schools in Kansas, and in states north, south, and east of it enroll with the University of Kansas, while those in Colorado, and north, south, or west of that state, enroll with the University of Colo- rado.
