HOME MOVIES FOR DECEMBER PAGE 413 IN PRIZES WHAT DO YOU WANT IN YOUR POSTWAR MOVIE EQUIPMENT? Neither mechanical genius, industrial designer, nor professional cameraman or projectionist has any priority on the SI 500.00 DeVRY CORPORATION will pay for IDEAS as to Tomorrow' s 8mm Motion Picture Camera and Projector. From these experienced groups are bound to come important, practical contributions to the over-all design and mechanical improvement of postwar's 8mm equipment — but the amateur and the "home tinkerer" are certain to have IDEAS — ideas that may revolutionize an industry! What do YOU want in the next motion picture camera YOU buy? How do YOU think it should look? Load? Operate? What do YOU want in YOUR postwar motion picture projector? How can its operation be simplified, perfected? Have you an idea as to YOUR projector's appearance that you believe has merit and appeal? It is YOUR answers to these questions, in rough sketch or finished drawing — with or without supplemental explanation, as you may desire — that DeVRY is looking for. ENTRIES MUST BE MAILED BY DEC. 31, 1943 It is the USER's desires — whether you be professional, amateur, or just a "tinkerer with an idea" that will share these SI 500.00 War Bond awards. Drawing, designing or modelling skill is secondary. It is the IDEA that will win. Write today for Official Entry Blank and its suggestions and conditions. THESE HINTS MAY HELP YOU DESIGN: Submit your Ideas — in rough or finished drawing — as to how you think the new 8mm MOTION PICTURE CAMERA OR PROJECTOR should look. Supplement designs with brief comments. Enter as many drawings as you wish. MECHANICAL OPERATION: You may submit working models, mechanical drawings, rough sketches. The idea ts the thing — how to simplify, improve, perfect either camera or projector operation — for instance: PROJECTOR: Ventilating system flamp house) ; optical system; film movement ; reel arms; tilting device; film safety devices; take-up, framing, focusing and shutter mechanisms, etc. Can you suggest particular developments of these features? CAMERA: (single or turret lens mount) view finder; shutter, footage indicator; loading mechanism; winding key; exposure guide; lens mount; focusing; single frame release mechanism, etc. How do you think these can be simplified, perfected?
