SOME INVENTIONS Harry Fishbeck, Famous Players cameraman, who photographed "Monsieur Beaucaire," "The Humming Bird" and "A Sainted Devil," perfected a motor-driven camera in August. The motor is affixed to an ordinary camera and is connected with an electrical switch. The device can be regulated and set to run at whatever speed desired, and also has a reverse for use in making double exposures and dissolves. The advantages of the motor is that it does away with the slightest possible movement which might result from the swaying of the photographer's body as he turns the camera. It also leaves the camera man free to give more attention to lights while the scene is in progress. With the old method the cameraman had to divide his attention between his apparatus and the lights on the set. New Lighting System Fishbeck also is the inventor of a new system of lighting, in which a preponderance of spotlights are used. He obtains his effects of highlights and shadows by employing spotlights as an artist uses a brush and colors on the canvas. The basic idea is to make each pictured scene look like a painting, with the characters standing out in bold relief. With this new system of lighting black is rated at zero and white at 100, and never does the cameraman go below twenty-five in light intensity, or above seventy-five. Each character in the scene is given just the necessary amount of light to be effective. PERFECTS NEW STORM EFFECT Arthur E. Shadur, engineer of Universal City, invented a marine storm effect in August. The device can create waves and other storm effects, on a large enough scale to toss full-sized ships around. NEW MACHINE DEVICE An electrical device was installed in several houses in Topeka, Kan., in October. The device, it is claimed, will prevent film from igniting. It its an electrically controlled dowser containing a motor control switch which shuts off the light beam and breaks the motor circuit when any irregular or impaired condition of the film or working parts of the machine occurs. PERFECTS NEW CAMERA Prof. James Worthington stated in March that he had perfected a camera which takes perfect pictures by starlight. Worthington said he was perfecting a camera capable of making 16,000 exposure a second utilizing the ideas incorporated in his latest discovery. Although admitting it possibly has possibilities in motion pictures photography, Worthington asserts its greatest value will be in astronomical pbotographly. ANOTHER BRAY INVENTION Brayco, a scientifically constructed still-picture projector which uses strips of standard size film, instead of slides was invented by J. R. Bray, of Bray Screen Products. Inc., New York. The device, which is aimed for visual education and home entertainment, weighs less than five pounds and may be attached to any electric outlet and has a specially designed resistance cord to eliminate the use of a rheostat. Films for this projector are furnished from the Bray Library. 526
