The name and data on the curved bowl of the bulb read: "Photoflood No. 1-A — 105 volts." Can you tell me if this lamp is similar to the original No. 1 Photoflood? Richard B. Andrews Palo Alto, Calif. No, it is not. General Electric informs us that the No. 1-A is a relatively new lamp unit, designed specifically to burn on 105 volt current. Used on the standard 115-120 volt current, the No. 1-A will burn less brightly and, for color films, gives an incorrect color temperature.

WILLING TO CORRESPOND Dear Movie Makers: An uncle of mine in Philadelphia recently presented me with a subscription to Movie Makers, and believe me he could not have given me a better gift. What strikes me about the magazine is its very pleasant atmosphere. I should like to ask if there is anyone among your readers who is willing to correspond with me. My age is 19, and this will be my third year of filming on 8mm. Henry Schutte Westeinde 12 Voorburg (Z-H), Holland BOSTON FOR Gl TRAVELS Dear Swap Shop: I'm trying to make a movie of my travels as a GI during the war. To that end, I should be most pleased to have the assistance of ACL'ers or readers in shooting some 8mm. color scenes in these cities: Frederick, Md.; Montgomery, Ala.; San Francisco, Calif. ; Pearl Harbor, T.H. ; Freemantle and Perth, Australia; Wellington, New Zealand; Agra, Bombay, Calcutta, Allahabad, Assam, New Delhi and Darjeeling, India; Kunming and Chungking, China; Myitkyina, Burma ; Cairo, Egypt; and Natal, Brazil. I realize that this is a large order, but filling any part of it will be greatly appreciated. In exchange, I will be glad to shoot equal 8mm. color footage of the many historic landmarks in and around Boston, Massachusetts. Bernard Lefton, ACL c/o 142 Pearl Street Chelsea 50, Mass., U.S.A.
