October, 1949 New Peerless Film-Treating Unit Peerless Film Processing Corporation has developed a new model Peerless filmtreating unit, specially designed for locations where space is limited and the amount of film handled does not require a large machine. Model VK-16 needs only about 2x3 feet of floor space, uses standard 110volt AC current and does not necessitate special installations. Its capacity is up to sixteen 1600-foot reels of 16mm film per hour (or 8 reels of 35mm). The first of these units was recently installed at Telefilm, Inc. in Hollywood, which thus became an official licensee for Peerless Film Treatment. A second is now installed in the Special Service Station which Vick Krupa, Vice President and West Coast Representative of Peerless, has opened at 959 North Seward Street, Hollywood. Peerless has recently issued a new edition of its informational folder, "20 Questions on Film Protection," which is available without charge on request to Peerless Film Processing Corporation, 165 West 46th Street, New York 19, N.
