Another FIRST for KNEISLEY Miniaturized High Current Silicon Rectifiers THE MOST COMPACT RECTIFIERS EVER DESIGNED Occupy only 1/7 square foot of usable floor space in your projection room In uuest of projection room modernization and elimination of costly booth wiring, Mel Glatz, of Fox Inter-Mountain Theatres Inc., insisted upon compact rectifiers to mount adjacent lamphouses. Kneisley engineers complied by designing 115, 140, and 180 ampere 3 phase rectifiers in housings measuring 20" x 20" x 10" utilizing only a small fraction of floor space. R. F. Kneisley President, The Kneisley Electric Company These miniaturized rectifiers are designed to mount over pedestal base beneath projector motor. Required floor space is reduced from 3 square feet to 1/7 square foot. Installation provides "on spot" current adjustment. the All three models are equipped with 480 ampere heavy duty silicon stacks. Automatic Arc Striking Current Minimizers supplied with each rectifier for reflector protection. Blower draws cool air into rear housing, through silicon stack, upward and over transformers into lamphouse exhaust system, eliminating heat in projection room. V/rite us for detailed information.
