"Cine-Focus" Century Proj. C New Projection Century Projector Corp.. "New \ ork. has announced development of a film stabilizer kit called "CineFocus." The announcement states the trade name was coined "to include not one but several ideas, any one of which would improve the operation of a projector but in combination produces a screen result which has been acclaimed everywhere it has been used." The announcement describes the equipment further as follows: "By the use of water, air and cooling, a film control has been achieved which results in a picture having a solidit) and optical perfection never before achieved commercially. In Combination with other well known devices such as the Centurv water cooled film traps plus the quartz coated heat filters, film flutter and focus drift has been reduced to a minimum if not i for all practical purposes! eliminated. "Cine-Focus is a device to better control a motion picture film as il is being projected under any and all conditions. It is especially valuable where limiting conditions are present as. for example. 70mm presentations on large screens and 35mm in larger theatres and drive-in-. It i also parlii ularlv adaptable to 35mm project Cine-Focus projector film stabilizer mounted in the Century 70mm projector operating side — inside view. orp. Develops System ors in smaller theatres, second runs, etc.. where films that have been projected under circumstances which have caused them to become permanently buckled as to cause in and out of focus. "Correcting several factors causing picture depreciation Cine-Focus maintains strict and positive control over the film while it is being projected as well as contributing to its longer life. Cine-Focus not onlv controls the positive positioning of the film but it ma\ also contribute to the reduction of the tension required bv the film trap shoes. It accomplishes this liv maintaining a positive control of the film positioning without exerting undue mechanical pressure on the film. This results in reduced sprocket hole depreciation and makes prints last longer. "It should be explained that CineFocus is not a so-called air pressure gate." iP EPRAD Announces New Drive-In Speaker A new (I rive-in theatre speaker named the "Super Blazer" has been announced bj Paul Voudouris, sales manager for EPR \l).
