Fire Prevention Devices, Projector IMPORTANT equipment has been developed which it is said definitely prevents a film fire in the projection machine. This equipment is a safety control device, that is easily installed and which is operated on the regular line voltage. The main control unit and dowser are mounted on the cone of the lamphouse and act as the main light cut off, taking the place of the regular dowser. The dowser is operated from five distinct points of contact, covering every avenue through which a fire could start in the projector while it is in operation or at a standstill with the film in it. All contact points are very sensitive, and the dowser is instantaneous in its action, yet does not depend upon springs to actuate it. Blue Seal Products Co., 260 Wyckoflf Street, Brooklyn, New York.
