Equipment and Technique in 1938. 285 No. Twelve machine incorporates a number of other features that would be appreciated. It is robustly constructed and once seen gives the true impression that it will last its owner a lifetime. The Kalee No. Twelve Model is listed from £115. The other model, the Kalee Dragon, whilst incorporating the most modern features, including drum type shutter, is slightly lighter in construction as compared with its big brother and has group system lubrication. It is, however, a fine piece of precision mechanism and carries with it the Kalee hallmark of quality. It is capable of giving its user many years of exacting and hard usage and projects a rock steady picture and is silent in action. The Dragon is suitable for use with all the principal sound systems and is listed from £70. Kalee Arc Lamps of the Regal and Vulcan types, designed for use with 14-in. and 10-in. mirrors, with automatic carbon controls, continue to be in demand. These arcs are capable of giving the maximum illumination for all purposes combined with economical current consumption. The Kalee Regal arc is listed at £97 10s., and the Vulcan arc from; £50. Kalee, Ltd., supply everything for the kinema and theatre, including spots, rectifiers, fire shutters, slide lanterns, switchgear, resistances, etc. Kamm and CO., Ltd. — -Kamm projectors manufactured at their London works are still recognised for their fundamental soundness in design, although additions have been made from time to time which further improve their efficient qualities. Two models are at present in production — -the open type " Junior " model, and the " Wembley " totally enclosed machine, which are both well tried and proved. In 1938 an entirely new sound head was put in production. This is of the rotary stabilised type. The essential features are a rotating drum to which a flywheel is attached. The flywheel is oil damped. This assembly, combined with a new optical unit and suitable isolation by means of loops formed in the film, gives sound the realism which modern films demand. AMM & CO..
