The international photographer (Jan-Dec 1939)

2 — January. 1939 INTERNATIONAL standard sound mechanism assures sound reproduction of a quality found in higher priced Ampro models. Brilliant, flickerless picture projection is assured with 750-1000 watt illumination. The new models are compact, quiet, and easy to operate. All in one case they are small and portable, weighing only 49 pounds, including 1600 foot reel, carrying case, accessories and cords. Operation so quiet that a blimp case is unnecessary. All controls are centralized on a single illuminated panel. Reel arm brackets are permanently attached and swiveled into position so that there are no parts to set up and fasten. Threading is simplified with only two sprockets and film guides to facilitate threading. Amprosound Model "X," for industrial use, is equipped with 60 cycle AC motor and sells for $275. Amprosound Model "Y," for educational use in classroom and small auditoriums, is equipped with Universal AC-DC motor with silent film speed and sells for $295. Versatile Leitz Vlll-C 100 watt Still Projector Has Many Novel Features Designed for home use, visual education, and for salesmen who desire a still film projector for showing pictures before small groups of people, the new Leitz VI1I-C 100 watt projector presents many novel features. It measures 61/4x61/4x5 inches, not including lens; is made of plastic and metal, plastic around the front of the projector where heat should not be transmitted and metal around the lamp house where heat should be transmitted. The VIII-C projector embodies a black top 100-watt, 110-volt projection lamp and may be used for projecting either 2x2 inch glass slides or 35 mm film strips. Slide changing gate is interchangeable with the film carrier and the front of the projector may be rotated so that both horizontal and vertical pictures may be projected from film strips. A three lens condenser system and a silvered reflector behind the projection lamp makes illuminating system unusually efficient for a 100-watt projector. The condenser system is easily removable so that either 50 mm Leica camera lenses of a special 85 mm projection lens may be used. A heat absorption filter between lamp and condenser system aids in dissipating the heat, while the black top of the bulb permits the tops of the inner and outer lamp housings to be open for maximum ventilation. Current is controlled by a toggle switch built into the rear of the projector. The projector may be obtained without lens (for use with interchangeable 50 mm camera lenses) or with the Hektor 85 mm f : 2.5 projection lens. With slide changer for 2x2 inch slides and condenser system for 50 mm Leica camera lenses, but without lenses, it lists at $42.
