Wabash Ave. 320 W. 46th St. CHICAGO NEW YORK firm of Friedrich Krupp A. G., of Essen, .o manufactures projectors, especially the hig •priced types, on an extensive scale. Motion-picture projectors are not i cifically included in the official German for n trade statistics, but are included under gen il group classifications, in consequence of w h position in the exportation of motion-pic e apparatus of all kinds, and exercise a vir il monopoly of the domestic market, due i,a large measure to the German customs taf. Local preference is for German-manu :tured motion-picture apparatus, owing to ifamiliarity with non-German manufactis. There is, however, no prejudice against ie products of American manufacture in ( ■many, provided the American articles com; o favorably in price and quality with simr articles of German manufacture. The makes of motion-picture projec -s most generally used in Germany are H; iGoerz, Ernemann, Nitzsche, Bauer, A. E. , and Mcchau. The selling prices of these ichines are as follows: Hahn-Goerz, 1)0 marks; Ernemann I, 1,770 marks; Ernerr n II, 2,405 marks; Nitzsche, 1,800 marks; Bar, 1,800 marks; A. E. G., 2,000 marks; d Mechau, 5,300 marks. The newest types, such as Ernemann I, deviate from the previous models, in that y carry 3,000 feet of film, there are cooling :vices to counteract the high intensity of e arcs, there are automatic oil-feeding dev s, and nearly all other modern attributes, : h as speed control, which American mach :s now have. There are about 600 theatres equipped ' h 2 machines, about 30 with 3 machines, d the balance, 3,770, with only 1 m.acl About 630 theatres have the latest-m ;1 projectors, while the balance have machts of the older type. Of all the machines in e in Germany, not a single American proje >r is in use. AAA Generators. — The A. E. G. and its subsid y companies make generating sets and rectT, transformers, which are not only used n Germany but also exported to other couni:s in Europe, including England. Arc lamps. — High-intensity and mir:reflector arc lamps are used in the birr theatres. Screens. — In a majority of the theatre n Germany, painted screens are used with t or another well-known preparation; mi >r or silver screens are used only to a s 11 extent. Visual education. — -Visual education is been accepted widely in Germany in se idary schools and universities, particularly >r teaching historical and scientific subiects. e Prussian Minister of Education has the su 'vision of matters pertaining to educatioi n Prussia, which is two-thirds of Germy. Similar provisions exist in the other St:s of Germany. Portable projectors. — The use of port le projectors in the home is believed to be lsiderably more restricted than in the Ur d States. There are few manufacturers >f portable projectors in Germany, but those d in the German market are practically al if German manufacture. There is one An ican type which has been placed on the mai t, but so far it has enjoyed only moderate s s. There are two German portable projec*. fairly well known in Germany. One is it Kinebox, popular in France, and the o -r is the Knirps, manufactured by Lehma & Knetsch, of Tauentzienstrasse 55, Breslau It is equipped with a 400-watt lamp for iy desired voltage or current. The price of 'C Knirps type B, with two reels for 400-nif, films, is 1,000 marks. The price is slig'y higher when equipped with 600-meter r s. The use of motion-picture projection a»» ratus equipped with lamps over 500 tt capacity in Prussia is prohibited by the P'-"* administrative regulations, unless the > pectors are used only in a fireproof Pr(:d tion booth.
