Home Movies and Home Talkies (Jun 1933-May 1934)

454 HOME MOVIES & HOME TALKIES matio negative film, mid we have recently tested this stock with very satisfactory results. The film is fully panchromatic and in the super-speed class, and our tests, which included a variety of scenes as well as coloured charts, show that the material is of a very high grade, with fine grain, and gives excellent colour rendering. The film is sold, without processing rights, for , and a returnable deposit of is charged for the cassette. Altogether an excellent film which meets a very distinct demand. Big Reels for Pathe 200-B Our accompanying illustration shows a new fitting for the Pathe 200-B projector, known as the Tinol Oversize Super Attachment. It enables about a thousand feet of 9^-mm. film to be projected without the need of changing spools. Thus, provided they are spliced up beforehand, two and three-reel features can be shown as continuous film. The outfit, which contains the necessary arms, screws, spacing washers and two special spring bands, also includes two 1,000 ft. spools, while further spools are obtainable at 2s. each. The change-over can be made in a few minutes by removing the original spool arms and fitting the extensions ; and the finisli of the attachment is such that the handsome appearance of this projector is not in any way marred. The spools have a wooden core and cardboard cheeks, and if they are carefully iiandled should be found quite satisfactory. This attachment has been submitted by Messrs. Titulls, Ltd., of Manchester, and sells for 12s. 6d. complete. Tinol Oversize Super Attachment PERMANENT BINDING CASES FOR "HOME MOVIES" Permanent binding cases have been prepared, and are available on application to the Publisher.s. Write for particulars A Printer Hint To the Editor of Home Movies and Home Talkies Dear Sir, — I note that you propose to deal with the question of negative as title in an early issue. May I remind those who use the old Pathe hand-turned camera for titling that the gate aperture is smaller than that of the modern projector and that if this camera is used without alteration there will be a white margin on the screen when projecting. This does not show in the case of reversal film as in that case it is black. I understand that Messrs. Pathescope are prepared to alter this for a small charge, or if one feels inclined to do it oneself then the necessary instructions can be found in the article describing the construction of a home-made " printer " pubUshed in your December issue. Trusting that the above reminder will prevent unnecessary waste of film. — I am, yours faithfully, (Signed) Ernest M. Greenwood.
