See your dealer for demonstration. MOVIE-MITE was the FIRST precision built, extra light weight, compact 16mm projector to be put on the market at a notably low price. MOVIE-MITE established new standards . . and leads in the production of an amazing combination of quality and economy. MOVIE-MITE, complete with speaker, weighs only 26 lbs.

W. Sutton, Lt. Col. Rhiwbina, Wales Unfortunately, no. The basic premise of Mr. Levett's stroboscopic control system is that the speed of the projector shall be regulated by its own pulsating light beam. Since these pulsations are created by the number of times the projector shutter interrupts the light beam in passing each frame, they would bear no relation to the pulsations of a neon lamp — which depend on the cycle frequency of the alternating current being used. For a more flexible arrangement of projector and recorder-still using projector flicker on the strobe disc — see page 338.

IDEAS TO SWAP Dear Movie Makers: Recently a group of cine enthusiasts got together here and formed the Huddersfield Cine Club. Could you put us in touch with our counterparts in the States to swap ideas and the like? At the moment we are all looking forward to the visit of Princess Elizabeth and Duke of Edinburgh, hoping to make a good 16mm. colour film of the proceedings. Of course, this depends on the unpredictable English climate. H. Haigh 6 Diamond Street Hillhouse Lane Huddersfield Yorkshire, England FEELING OF GOOD WILL Dear Swap Shop: I would be very pleased to correspond with any member of the Amateur Cinema League anywhere in the world, and also assist anyone wanting 16mm. black and white or coloured films of Canada, especially in Ontario. I believe that we can create an international feeling of good will and better understanding through this column in Movie Makers. I would gladly film whatever is required for the cost of film or swap historic and scenic pictures for the same of other lands. H. E. Nicholls, ACL c/o Nicholls Electric R. R.
