Description:
This leading industry publication, published out of New York, was founded in 1915 by Wid Gunning (who called his publication Wid's Daily until 1922). The Film Daily documented the rise of the Hollywood studios, the transition to sound, and the evolution of the American film industry (the paper finally shuttered in 1970). The Film Daily included feature reviews, news stories, and advertisements, but its extensive coverage of short films in the 1920s and 30s distinguished it from other trade papers of the period. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011/2013

If Announcing Pre-Cratered 9 mm x 20 High Intensity Projector Carbons A / VNOTHER achievement of National Carbon research. The history of National Projector Carbons is one of constant improvement. But the merit of each new idea is definitely proved, by exacting laboratory and service tests, before it is applied to the product. The latest improvement is the pre-cratering of 9 mm x 20" National High Intensity Projector Carbons. Exhaustive tests, both in the laboratory and in actual theatre projection, have shown that pre-cratering achieves two highly important results. It enables the arc to "burn in" much more quickly and smoothly. It results in clean burning when the arc is struck on a new carbon. The Projectionist will recognize the value of these features. All 9 mm x 20" High Intensity Carbons now leaving our factory are pre-cratered. Also, the holder end of each carbon is beveled for easy insertion in the holder jaws. There is no extra charge. CTOR CARBONS Sold exclusively through distributors and dealers. National Carbon Company will gladly cooperate with the producer, exhibitor, machine manufacturer or projectionist on any problem involving light. NATIONAL CARBON COMPANY, INC.
