Carbon Saver Devised For Rotating Carbons A carbon saver that can be used with 9, 10, 11 and 13.6-mm positive carbons has been introduced by Doc Faige &: Associates, New York. Manufactured by Howard Neilson, the new device is adaptable to both Ashcraft and Strong rotating carbon lamps. “Use-a-Stub,” as the carbon saver is called, is factory adjusted for normal carbon diameter; however, for abnormally thick or thin carbons, the device is adjustable by a quarter-turn of a screw. “Use-a-Stub” rotates with the carbon stub until the holder reaches the jaws, after which a recessed stud continues to feed the stub forward inside the silver jaws for another three-quarters of an inch. SCREEN TYPES WITHDRAWN Poblocki and Sons, Milwaukee, has announced cessation of its efforts to develop a practicable drive-in screen of anodized extruded aluminum, which was announced for the market under the name “Permalum.” The company found that the material employed “will not survive the usual elements.” Another Poblocki drive-in screen, made of white vitreous procelain enamel on steel and called the “Permascreen,” also has been withdrawn. • CASUAL COMFORT FOR "ART FILM" PATRONS (1 Continued from page 13) through new natural-wood flush doors.
