The Film Daily (1931)

THE Sunday, January 25, 1931 ■eStl DAILY EQUIPMENT® BOOTH NEW SOUND REPRODUCER, PUT OUT BY DALLAS FIRM Dallas — A new sound-on-film reproducing equipment, known as the "International," designed for easy attachment on Powers projectors, is being distributed by J. G. Tomlin, owner of the Square Deal Exchange of this city. The new device is said to consist of three tubular endless round belts, which drive the sound head direct from motor, thus eliminating the shock, usually found in starting with a direct connected motor. The projector is driven with a silent chain from sound head. Exciter lamps are adjustable in all directions, it is claimed, making them easy to focus for maximum light. An extra lamp mount complete with lamp is furnished with each sound head so that it may be prefocused and quickly replaced if a lamp should burn out while the projector is running. The entire design has all the advantages of the Simplex sound attachment, and insures smooth, even motion and quiet running, it is claimed.
