New Balancer for Theatre Equipment Soles, Dept. A-76, Bldg. 15-1 Radio Corporotion of America, Camden, N.J. Please rush me RCA Control System details NAMF ADDRESS . Projection Shutters CITY. .STATE. A NEW TORISON Counter balancer designed to close projection room fire door shutters “quietly and without jaring” has been placed on the market by the Best Devices Company, Inc., Cleveland. Units are available to fit the makes and sizes of all types of shutters, it is stated. The balancer consists of a shaft that rotates on bearings formed by two end mount ing brackets, a torison spring and an arbor that winds or unwinds a cable that fastens to the shutter door. By mounting the shaft parallel on the top of any fire shutter frame, the cable readily winds or unwinds on the arbor as the door is raised or lowered, the manufacturer explains. As the door lowers, the cable unwinds turning the arbor as well as the shaft against the resistance of a torison spring. In this fashion, it is asserted, the door is made to close quietly and without jar and shock. The balancer is said to be easy to install, maintain and adjust to the right tension for smooth shutter closing.
