We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

EYE STRAIN!!! DO you know its causes — its remedies? Eyestrain is caused by flickering on the screen. FLICKERING is the result of a combination of causes. The standard size of each frame of film is 1 inch by % inch, but this is projected on the screen to a size of 12 by 16 feet. The magnification of the film with oil on it, in combination with the movement of the intermittent, produces a steady flickering effect. It has also been proven that oil and dirt deteriorate the quality of the SOUND of synchronized films. Our CLEANING MACHINES used in conjunction with our FILMEX CLEANING FLUID eliminate the causes of these defects. The above refers to films shown after the first run. Now in regards to new film. In order to avoid scratches, all new film should be processed by a buffing system instead of the inferior method of waxing. SOUND PICTURES in particular, must not be waxed, for by doing so, you run the risk of clogging the aperture in the sound gate and instead of a properly modulated effect, you get a harsh and irritating sound.
