FBKS, FRPS The first portion of IPs report on Photokina, one of the world's largest projection shows, was carried in last month's issue. Continuing the discussion of new European projection equipment featured there, we must say something more about the Philips projectors. THE REVOLUTIONARY XENON LIGHT SYSTEM FOR SUPERIOR MOTION PICTURE PROJECTION check these big zeiss-ikon xenosol advantages: ■ COLOR FIDELITY ■ LOW CURRENT CONSUMPTION ■ SUPERIOR QUALITY PROJECTION ■ TROUBLE-FREE CLEAN OPERATION ■ IMMEDIATE STARTING ZEISS-IKON XENOSOL equipment-for new installations and existing carbon arc housings-is available in 900 watt, 1,600 watt and 2,500 watt sizes to fit every theatre's need.

Phone : PLaza 8-1561 14 We saw another application of the new lamp: a new projector-a slight modification of the FP20S — known as the FP22S, which uses two 1000watt lamps. One is in the normal place just behind the gate; the other is at the side, and a mirror shutter three times per frame reflects its light into the aperture, which thus receives six flashes per frame. The light output is 15,000 lumens. Yet another development is a new pulsator. The previous types are of course synchronized from the projector, running at 24 frames per second, and to smooth the 50 c/s of the European mains sufficiently to prevent flicker needs quite costly circuits. The new pulsator is synchronized with the 50 c/s mains; it operates in conjunction with the new FP25S projector, which is driven by a synchronous motor at 25 frames per second. The new pulsator is half the size and half the cost of the previous type. But the highlight of the Philips exhibit was the Solo projector. It is designed to carry 13,000 ft. reels, and as shown in the photograph, the magazines are positioned either side of the projector stand. A loaded spool is pretty weighty, so the spools are carried on the trolley shown, which is wheeled up to the magazine and the spool is slid on to the shaft. The foot pedal shown serves to rewind after the complete reel has been shown (a fully auto(Please turn to page 18) International Projectionist October. 1963
