Author's Note TO THIRD EDITION AS in the case of the first and second editions, I believe it is but right and proper that this, my latest effort, should be dedicated to the moving picture operator, upon whose shoulders rest, in large degree, the welfare of the entire moving picture industry. The author has faith to believe that this book will be favorably received by the fraternity and trusts it will accomplish a large amount of good for all students of projection. In order to do justice to the magnificent productions of today it is necessary that the moving picture operator have a wide range of knowledge and that he be capable of applying that knowledge in the best possible way. The day of guesswork in projection is past. The author feels that while this book will be of great aid to the moving picture operator, it will also indirectly be of equally great help to the producers and all others connected with the industry by reason of the fact that it is the finished product which is placed in the hands of the moving picture operator, who may either reproduce it on the screen as a magnificent spectacle or a shadowy, jumping travesty on the original. November, 1915. Publisher's Note TO THIRD EDITION THERE is little to add by the Publishers in introducing this new edition. The first and second editions of this work were most complete and instructive at the time of their publication. Each edition was an improvement over the previous one, and this book much more than either of its predecessors not only reflects the wonderful progress and improvement in moving picture projection but points the way to still greater advancement. The author has spent all of his time for many years in the study of projection, and we confidently believe this comprehensive work will meet with the unqualified approval of every reader. CHALMERS PUBLISHING COMPANY. December, 1915.
