Address State HM-240 heck these AMPRO features! NEW sound loop synchronizer — Permits perfect synchronization of j picture and sound by the exact forming of sound loop. Guesswork is ! eliminated. Re-setting of sound loop accomplished without stopping projector when loop is lost through faulty film and without damage to the film, i EXTREME quietness of operation — Runs so silently that no “blimp-’ or covering case is required. j EASE of operation — All operating controls centralized on one illuminated panel. MAXIMUM film protection A triple claw is used for moving film, | engaging three sprocket holes simultaneously. Film with two adjacent torn : holes can be successfully used. Ampro patented “kick-back” movement lifts the claws from the sprocket holes, before withdrawing, eliminating j film wear. Take-up compensator prevents starting strain. IMPROVED sound optical system — The light from the exciter lamp is projected directly and optically onto the photo cell without the losses ' or distortions normally encountered when mirror, prism, or mechanical slit is used. IMPROVED light optical system In perfect alignment at all times, pre-set by the factory. Projection lamp base adjustable so that filament ! can be moved manually into perfect alignment with optical system. The Reflector and Condenser lenses are mounted on front cover for quick cleaning without the necessity of using tools. 1000 WATT illumination provided — AMPROSOUND Models ! | “X” and “Y” are approved by the Underwriters’ Laboratories for 1000 watt lamps. A 750 watt lamp is normally furnished as standard equipment but can be interchanged with 1000 watt lamps. | PERMANENTLY attached reel arms — For quick set-up Reel arms are permanently attached; merely swivel into position for instant use. Accompanying belts, always attached, swing diI rectly into position. ! SMOOTH sound — Entirely free from waver and distortion due i to its finely balanced flywheel, mounted on airplane type grease i sealed ball bearings, and Ampro’s patented film guides. Curved film guides placed before and after the sound drum and sound sprocket prevent the film from flapping. IMPROVED sound drum and filter — Mounted on precision ball bearings, the rotating type of sound drum avoids sliding action between the drum and film — prolongs film life and maintains high quality sound, i' Curved film guides before and after sound drum eliminates weaving and i “belt action.” SIMPLIFIED threading — Same as threading silent projector, with exception that film also loops around sound drum, eliminating looping ! film over a third sprocket. Film guides assure correct, easy threading. FAST automatic rewind — 400 ft. reel rewinds in 35 seconds — 1600 ft. reel in 75 seconds without damage to the film. No transferring of reels or belts. USES standard lamps — Standard prefocused lamps, up to 1000 watts. “Special” high priced lamps not required.
