16 INTERNATIONAL PROJECTIONIST October 1931 This distance is the sum of the distances a and b, and their lengths are found through the formula a M = b Insert the length of these distances in the following formula: f a b \ and you will thus be able to find the exact focal length necessary to produce a certain size picture at a certain distance from the object. This fundamental working knowledge will definitely enable us to cope with optical problems incident to our profession and will lead us to an understanding of the basic nature of the lens. Both will be useful, the first in the practical application, and the second in a heightening of the understanding which leads to a real interest in our profession. Examples : No. 1. With a slide which is 3" high, and at a projection distance of 100 feet, we desire to project a picture 15 feet high. What focal length lens will be necessary? Given: Slide height, 3"; picture height, 180"; projection distance, 1,200." height of slide a M = = or height of picture 3 a M = = 1 f + 180 1,200 3 X 1,200 = 20 1 180 1 1 -\ or a b f 1,200 + 20 20 1,220 24,000 1,200 24,000 24,000 f = == 19.67", answer 1,220 No. 2. A film is projected through an aperture 0.6" high at a projection distance of 100 feet, and we desire to project a picture 15 feet high. What focal length lens will be necessary? Given : Aperture height, 0.6"; picture height, 180"; projection distance, 1,200". height of aperture a M height of picture 0.6 a or M = 180 1,200 0.6 X 1,200^ 180 1 = 4 1 f 1 a + = b f 1,200 + 4 1,204 4,800 1,200 4,800 4,800 f = = 3.98", answer 1,204 Characteristics of RCA Photophone Tubes With explanatory notes covering their use in all types of RCA equipment Equipment Amplifier Radiotrons Filament Voltage Grid Voltage Plate Voltage Plate Current (ma.)
