66 FEBRUARY 1947 WHY Fi I momade movies are sharply focused Sharp focus has long distinguished Filmomade movies. And high among the reasons for this superlative sharpness is the Bell & Howell-developed machine shown here. Known as an auto-collimator, it measures the distance between the lens seating face and the film surface to within two ten-thousandths of an inch! This is more than seven times the accuracy obtained with the standard microscope measuring system! That's why Filmo Cameras produce such sharp pictures. Every Filmo Camera lens must pass the auto-collimator test. Universal focus lens flanges are machined according to the extremely precise measurements made by this instrument. Lenses in focusing mounts are accurately calibrated in the same machine . . . all so that every Filmo Camera will produce pictures superior in sharp detail.
