We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Monograph Model "AA" Double Shutter Projectors are designed and built to operate longer without costly repairs and replacements and consequently have the lowest possible ultimate cost. They assure maximum screen illumination without flicker. Smooth, quiet, cool operation. Buy Monograph; buy proven satisfaction. Order from your Motiograph dealer or write MONOGRAPH, INC. 4431 W.

This system has been preserved essen hairs in the position that the image would occupy in film held perfectly flat in the gate. Illumination is provided by a small headlight lamp, located in crater position so that the optical system of the lamp and projector is completely filled. When FIG. 4. Mechanical film displacement as a function of air flow from nozzles. The 2 nozzles used in this experiment made an angle of about 30 degrees to the film plane, and in this position each tended to displace film in the direction of the air flow. The curves show the behavior of freshly processed film without a previous projection history. Note that a resultant force capable of forcing film through zero, and even forcing it far positive, can be obtained if the emulsion side nozzle sufficiently overpowers the base side nozzle. Conversely, an overpowering base-side nozzle will hold firm in the desirable negative deflection. + 0.060 <2 + 0.040 I O' z + 0.020 0.000 -0.020 -0.040 <$¥// Q— ' ® 600 1000 VELOCITY EMULSION SIDE -FT/SEC.

This dial gauge indicates motion of the lens with respect to the projector frame. Calibration to relate these values to actual film displacement from a flat plane in the gate makes use of a ground-steel gauge block with a small hole in its center, which holds thin glass-fiber cross 1 E.

The convention used in designating direction of film motion from this zero, it will be remembered, is to call motion toward the light source negative and motion toward the projection lens positive.
