A Fire Prevention for Projectors Important equipment has recently been developed which it is said definitely prevents a film fire in the projection machine. This equipment is a safety control device, that is easily installed and which is operated on the regular line voltage. The main control unit and dowser are mounted on the top magazine and act 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 start in the projector while it is in operation or at a standstill with the film in it. All contact points are very sensitive, and the dowser is instantaneous in its action, yet does not depend upon springs to actuate it. An arm with a loop and idler are so mounted as to engage with the upper film loop, another arm and idler is so mounted to engage the lower loop, an auxiliary idler is MODERN PROJECTION REQUIRES GOOD FILM CEMENT Griffin Film Cement Makes a quick dependable patch. i f i Guaranteed to give better service than any other cement.
