Hertner has just announced the new type C. P. transverter which is being manufactured by The Hertner Electric company in addition to the regular multiple arc and series arc transverters. The remarkable feature of the new type C. P. transverter is that within three per cent of the rated voltage is delivered under all conditions of temperatures and loads, it is claimed. This permits the operator to have his entire attention directed on his projection work, free from the necessity of manipulating the field regulator as heretofore required. The type C. P. transverter is designed and built so that it is particularly well ventilated and is in keeping with the high standard which this company has always maintained. The Hertner Electric Company will be glad to supply complete information on this type transverter either direct or through the National Theatre Supply Company. Recent installations of transverters have been made in many of the leading theatres of the counntry.
