(^* ^* *£^ Film Inspection Machines Perfect projection is impossible unless the film itself is in perfect mechanical condition. Today the public demands good screen results and the projectionist can accomplish this only when proper inspection has been given to the film. The film inspection machines manufactured today are adding efficiency to this work. Film Inspection Machine Company, Inc., 33 West 60th street, New York City.

(^ t^ t^ Film Cabinets There are various types of film cabinets having storage capacity from three to twelve reels per unit or various forms of construction so that the reel is elevated or brought within grasp by the opening of the cover.

The component parts of each unit are generally detachable, so that the unit can be made complete for film storage, waste disposal, film rewinding and inspection, as well as the storage of both supplies and tools. They are generally furnished with casters, so that they can be moved about for cleaning or relocating purposes. They are made entirely of metal and are therefore, fireproof. These units are far cheaper in the long run than the general make-shift of the past, in covering wooden benches or shelves with tin or sheet metal, since they always represent a recognized value by being complete within themselves, and not built in as part of the partitions or the booth construction. The prices range from $50.00 to $350.00. E. E. Fulton Company, 1018 South Wabash, Chicago, 111. (See Adv."» .< ,t ,t Fire Prevention Projector Important equipment has recently been developed which it is said definitely prevents a fire in the projection machine. This equipment is a control device, easily installed and which is operated on low voltage through a small step-down transformer. A dowser is mounted on the cone of the lamp house and acts as the main light cut-off. taking the place of the regular dowser. The dowser is operated from five distinct points of contact, covering every avenue through which a fire could st.irt in the projector while it is in operation with film in it. All contact points arc very sensitive, and the dowser is instantaneous in its action. A pivoted apron is mounted so that it comes in contact with the upper film loop. An .mxiliary idler is mounted so that it rides the film between the take-up sprocket and lower maga/ine fire valve rollers. These two points
