On February 27, 1950, the Projector Set AN/PFP-1-Q was classified standard type by Signal Corps Technical Committee action. Before presenting further information about requirements for certain features included in the newly developed equipment, it is best that a description of the projector set AN/PFP-1 be given (Fig. 1). This three-package unit consists of a projector, 20-w amplifier and speaker, with a screen and other accessories included as supplementary Fig. 2.

Basically the projector machine mechanism is comprised of a central casting of aluminum which is
