YOUR PHOTO DEALER HAS IT Let3s #/© SHOPPIH Powerful Projection Bulb A new light process that projects a picture five times brighter than conventional bulbs and even outperforms arc lamps has been developed for use in a new 16mm "shutterless" motion picture projector, so says W. C. DeVry, of the DeVry Corporation. 1111 W. Armitage Avenue. Chicago. Illinois. DeVry revealed that the new process sets the highest projection standards possible today and will be especially important for 3-D movies, wide screen projection, and color television. Developed by DeVry technicians under E. \^ . D Arcy. chief engineer, and with the cooperation of Navy engineers, the new process completely eliminates the projector shutter, although it was the invention of the shutter that originally made motional pictures possible. The new De\ ry light source can be added to any standard DeVry Jan 16mm sound motion picture projector. Roth the Army and Navy have adopted the Jan as their standard 16mm projector and it is now serving in thousands of armed forces installations on both land and sea all over the world. Censor Sound Control This is a new sound cut-off for tape recorders, sound projectors, radio and TV. Sick of stupid commercials on radio and T\ ? Then here is the answer in the form of a clever little gimmick called "Censor Sound" selling for S3.00. The control consists of a 12foot cord, switch and two clips which are attached to the two terminals on any speaker. \ovl can kill any commercial without stirring from your seat, and it works on all sound units including radios and T\ sets. The picture remains on the screen but the sound is instantly turned down to nothing. To install the unit, the two clips at the end of the cord are attached to the two speaker terminals and that's all there is to it — and the manufacturer claims that the unit will not harm anv radio or TV set. Censor Sound is applicable to movie equipment and can prove useful to Home Movie readers. It provides the same function with* tape recorders, sound projectors, and other sound equipment. Sound can be turned down instantly, during projection to explain certain sequences: and the unit can be used with a tape recorder when editing sound.

Action Editing Viewer The 8mm Axion Editing Viewer is manufactured by the Heard-Pacific Company. This company is employing a greatly simplified action mechanism, based on a completely new approach to the theory of action viewing, which gives the viewer perfect movie action. This new mechanism operates with absolute precision, stop ping every frame both backward and forward. It also eliminates complicated threading, making the Axion \ iewer extremely easy to use. A sharp clear picture is seen through a 4-power. 20-diopter lens. The lens is recessed into the eye-piece to insure adequate protection, and the eye-piece is equipped with precision anti-glare rings. The case itself is a pleasing modern design and is made of high impact styron. Convection cooling insures adequate ventilation of the light bulb. • See "SHOPPING" on Page 124 106
