International projectionist (Jan 1963-June 1965)

XeTRON Projector for 16mm Available As Modification Kit for JAN The XeTRON division of Carbons, Inc. made its first official demonstration of a JAN projector modified for Xenon compact arc at the Chicago convention of N.A.V.A. and for the first time showed a big (9 ft. by 12 ft.) bright (12.5 F.C.) picture with the new XeTRON type JX Xenon 450 watt lamphouse. It is now possible for the modified projector to deliver three times as much screen brightness as can be obtained from a 16rnm projector using a 1000 watt incandescent bulb, the company states. The 450/JX lamphouse has been designed only for the "JAN" projector and meets the needed requirements for increased screen illumination. This JX unit is sold as a modification kit, complete with instructions for making the changes to improve the quality and intensity of the projected light. Other designs will be available in the near future for use with other make professional, heavy duty type projectors. Dimensions: JX is 14 % in. high by 5% in. wide by 7% in. deep. The 450/CX lamphouse can be used with many standard projectors now using carbon arc lamphouses, 16mm and 35mm, and will deliver up to three times greater illumination as will a standard 1000 watt incandescent bulb. The quality of light is said to be far superior and is similar in Kelvin temperature (5450° 5800° K) to the high intensity carbon arc. Both the JX and CX units are a "push-button" operation capable of delivering 2100 lumens (open shutter) of high intensity professional type light when properly utilized. They are self-contained with built-in ventilation system and require no exhaust stack; there is no ash or soot developed as products of combustion ti W/HY WASTE CARBONS?

The equipment exhibit will open Oct. 14-17. subsidiaries of that company. It is for this reason, among others, that the parent corporation decided to change the names of all of its subsidiaries, to more closely identify with Union Carbide Corp.
