Each of tlie student booths contains a record turntable, a headset and microphone so that the student can "tune in" a recording from a master console or phiy a language record of her choice on her turntable. By listening to a series of phrases broadcast from a master tape recording on the console, the student can repeat the phrase over her microphone, hear it on her headset and compare her pronunciation with that on the master tape. Audio-Visual Venetian Blind It is now reported to be po,ssible to convert any conventional schoolroom lor audio-visual instruction with the flick of a wrist. The trick is done with a new light-proof Venetian blind developed by the Hunter Douglas Corporation, 416 E. 50th St., New York 22, N. Y. The "Flexalum .'Vudio-Visual Blind" was perfected after three years of re.search in cooperation with audio-visual experts of southern California. The .\udio-Visual Blind's ability to exclude light almost completely is the result of new engineering principles. A special light trap at the top and aluminum channels at sides and bottom prevent the light leakage characteristic of ordinary Venetian blinds. Tapes, cords and the spring-tempered aluminum slats have been carefully designed to enable the blind to close completely, the slats locking against each other tightly. The effect is to reduce outside illumination in a modern classroom with multiple large windows to 1/10 footcandle at the projection screen. This meter reading is considered optimum for film or slide use. New Hi-Fi's To keep attuned to the progress and increasing demand of the audio-visual industry and to further complement their diverse line of e(|uipment, AudioMaster Corp., 17 East 4.">th St., New York City, has recently introduced two new high-fidelity machines. One is a portable Transcription Playback Machine which is said to provide new reality of sound. A HiGain straight AC amplifier with fivewatt output is incorporated into the unit with a frec(uency range up to 13.000 cycles. The second unit to be released is a Hi-Fidelity Automatic Record Changer playing 7" to 12" records automatically at all three speeds. It has a push-pull Hi-Gain amplifier with frecpiency response up to 18,000 cycles. Free & Helpful Write to . . . • Intkrnationai. Film Bureau, 57 E.
