Perfects Coldlite Reflector The Lee Artoe Co. of Chicago has announced a new development in reflectors — the Artoe Coldlite PX — which is a further perfection of its Artoe Coldlite reflector. The Coldlite PX is an improved, front surfaced, dichroic reflector made of unbreakable boro-silicate glass, able to withstand extremely high temperatures and very rapid cooling. Boro-silicate glass is the same compound used so successfully in the latest ovenware as well as in space technology and aerodynamic research. The Coldlite PX dichroic reflector is optically ground by master craftsmen who painstakingly hand rub the reflector until its polished surface is free from blemish, and a maximum of light is transmitted through the aperture opening. The front surface of the reflector is evenly coated on a special vacuum coating machine in order to insure top quality reflection. The Coldlite PX is sold with a two year guarantee against breakage through temperature change or against surface blistering and deterioration. It is made in two sizes, Ashcraft 16" and Strong 161/^". There is no advance in price. iP 14 International Projectionist February, 1965
