1949 BIPACK MAGAZINE 63
The adapter-and-magazine unit has been extremely satisfactory in all tests. Runs of 1000 feet with no stops were made using a "wild" motor at an ambient temperature as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit, without undue heating of the motor. During tests made at low temperatures (0 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit) the unit operated perfectly when it was so cold as to make it difficult to rack over the camera. In all tests made to date, the unit has never failed.
Tests run to date indicate that the unit is no more noisy than the standard 400-foot bipack magazine. Provisions have been made, nevertheless, for additional soundproofing of the adapter, should this be required. In order to use the unit with a standard blimp, it is only necessary to fabricate a slightly taller top for the blimp, an inexpensive and easy-to-do modification. This top can then be used interchangeably with the standard top permitting the blimp to be used either for color or black-and-white. The new blimp tops are being made at the present time, and it is expected that the 1000-foot magazine and adapter units will be in production use in the very near future.
Figs. 3 and 4 show the unit set up for operation.

Middleport Frowns on Moving Picture Shows
Middleport, N. Y., May 1. — An edict has been passed by the city fathers of Middleport that moving picture shows are a menace to women and children who patronize them, and, consequently, all efforts of a party of Medina men to establish a nickelodeon here within the past few days have failed.
