Rapidly advancing technical aspects of complex mechanisms of equipment needed to operate theatres, such as projection machines, carbon arc lamps, sound systems, etc.. has been a cause for concern on the part of theatre equipment dealers for some time, because of lack of thorough current knowledge of the equipment. Theatre Equipment Dealers Assn. has. therefore, requested Theatre Equipment & Supply Manufacturers Assn. and other unaffiliated manufacturers to meet with TEDA and other dealers in a four day technical session in Phoenix, Arizona, March 13-16. There will be no trade show exhibit. TESMA has accepted the invitation on behalf of its own organization. TEDA plans to issue invitations to other manufacturers and dealers not affiliated with either organization also to be present and to be prepared to explain and clarify technical aspects of the equipment they manufacture. The Phoenix meeting is expected International Projectionist Nov Shea to be one of several similar meetings expected to take place at least annually, and entirely apart from meetings of TESMA with exhibitor organizations. TESMA is expected to continue its practice of staging yearly trade shows at which manufacturers exhibit their equipment t o theatre owners attending annual conventions. iP Shea Named Technical Services Manager For Carbon Products Division Of Union Carbide J.
