Diversey Parkway. Chicago 14, 111. 7hese two luiits, .'iOO and ."jOO watts, make a "one-person" presentation practicable since they eliminate the need for a projectionist and the annoying signals and other interruptions.

Viewlex Project-O-Matic Viewlex, Inc., 35-01 Queens Blvd., L I. C, N. Y.. announces the new Project-O-Matic, 300-watt, motor fancooled, automatic 2x2 and Bantam slide projector. Projection of slitles is full forward or reverse. AVhen projection in sc((uence is desired, each slide is first moved into projection position and tlien returned to its proper tray slot and the next slide automatically projected. A visual "slide selector window" is conveniently located for (|uick selection of any slide in the numbered trays. I he trays accommodate ,^0 slides in any type of moinit, intermixed if desired. A built-in storage compartment houses an extra tray, making a total of 60 slides filed with and ready for inmiediate projection in the ProjectO-Matic. There is a compact "tuck-away compartment" for the cordset, eliminating loose and dangling cords. Soundcraft's "Mile of Tape" Reeves Soundcraft Corporation announces a new development in tape that opens up exciting new vistas in sound recording. Using Dupont's new "Mylar" polyester film as a base, .Soundcraft has succeeded in making a tape so thin that a mile of it can be wound on a single lOi/j-inch reel. The Mylar ba.se used in this Plus-lOO tape is only half a mil thick (one-sixth the thickness of a human hair), yet because of Mylar's stability it can be stored indefinitely without deterioration or loss of sound fidelity. Plus-lOO means a 50% or more saving in storage space, as well as a 45% saving in weight. Soundcraft's "mile of tape" will run continuously for nearly nineteen hours for voice or dictation recording— 1% inches per second on a double track machine. The new tape is also available on a 7-inch reel (2400 feet) and a 5-inch reel (1200 feet). For the music listener the 7-inch reel can provide as much as five hours of continuous recording (two complete operas, for example) at hi-fi speed of 714 inches per second on a double-track machine.
