NORELCO PROJECTORS — North American Philips Co., pioneers in the field of 70 mm projection equipment and developers in conjunction with the American Optical Company of the "Norelco 70/35" projector will sponsor the March 24 evening performance of 20th Century-Fox's "THE KING AND I," presented in the newly conceived "Grandeur 70" process at the Rivoli Theatre by the New York City Center Light Opera Co. The developers of the first practical and compatible 70 mm projection equipment will be host to hundreds of engineering, technical, exhibition and distribution leaders at this second night showing of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical comedy. It was announced earlier that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees will benefit from the premiere performance on March 23. The "Norelco 70/35" projector is in use in 120 theatres across the country. The Rivoli in New York is the first such equipped house to show the new "Grandeur 70" process. iP Five Research Associates Appointed at Kodak Labs The appointment of five senior research associates at the Eastman Kodak Company Research Laboratories h?s been announced by Dr. Cyril J. Staud, Kodak vice-president in charge of research. They are Dr. John W. Gates, Dr. Robert Griffith, Dr. David L. MacAdam, Dr. Delbert D. Reynolds, and Dr. Carl W. Zuehlke. The title of senior research associate is reserved for those who have made a significant contribution over a number of years to the work of the laboratories. New Film Processing Company Announced by MGM and Kalvar Joseph R. Vogel, president of MetroGoldwyn-Mayer Inc. and Alfred Jay Moran, president of Kalvar Corporation, today announced the formation of a new equally-owned company which will have the exclusive right to develop and market Kalvar photographic products in the field of motion pictures and television, and in certain areas of the still amateur photographicfield. Kalvar is engaged in the development and production of film under a revolutionary new process which does not require chemical processing. It takes photography out of the dark room. Kalvar's films are exposed by light to form the latent photographic image, and heated to develop the image. The system is unique in that the opaque area of the film is composed of light-scattering centers rather than the light-absorbing ones of conventional photographic film. This is the opaque area appearing white to the eye, but because of a stop light in the white opaque area it projects as black. Chief commercial use of the Kalvar process to date has been in the copying of microfilm images for industry and government. Extension of the process into various other forms of photography and copying is being rapidly developed. In announcing the agreement, Vogel said, "The successful development and application of the Kalvar process would have far-reaching effects in the field of motion picture and television production, providing quality and speed with reduction in both time and cost involved." Moran said, "Combined efforts of MGM film technicians with experienced experts in the Kalvar process will contribute substantially in these fields." iP Ampex Introduces New Videotape Recorder REDWOOD CITY, CAL. — Ampex Corporation has introduced a new television tape recorder specifically designed for closed circuit, non-broadcast applications in educational, industrial, and governmental fields.
