Into a Projector.
The New Q. R. S.
MARKING a new departure in the home movie field a combined camera and projector has been announced for distribution in June by The Q. R. S. Company of Chicago., which has been notably successful in the manufacturing and merchandising of music rolls, radio tubes and rectifier tubes. Although complete specifications for this new equipment have not yet been received by this department the accompanying photographs give a graphic idea of its interesting character. The camera is converted into a projector by the addition of the light unit and motor base and by change over from the taking shutter to the projecting shutter, the same lens being used for both purposes. This combination equipment is to be sold for $98.50. Through its extensive affiliations with music and radio stores the entrance of Q. R. S. into the home movie field presages the entry of these new factors into the merchandising of amateur motion picture goods. Thomas M. Pletcher is president of Q. R. S., and H. H. Roemer, who has wide experience and a wide acquaintance in the amateur motion picture field, is manager of the Q. R. S. Camera Division, which has developed this new equipment and is in charge of its national merchandising campaign. A large volume production is planned. It is the conviction of this big organization with its long experience that the amateur motion picture camera and projector is going to be accepted by the consumer public on a par with that of radio and the phonograph. The complete specifications of the Q. R. S. Camera and Projector will be published in our next issue.

New Accessories
NEW devices to aid the amateur, devised by the new M. A. C. Cine Accessories Company, are a tripod Projector Clamp and Canvas Shelf, and a Single Exposure Clamp for Filmo and Eyemo cameras.
With the Projector Clamp and Canvas Shelf, any tripod, whether of wood or metal, may be turned into a rock-steady stand for the projection of pictures with any make of 16 mm. projector. In addition, the Canvas Shelf (or shelves, if desired), serves to hold the film and film cans during projection, eliminating groping in the dark for reels.
The Single Exposure Clamp enables the operator to get in the picture himself without loss of film, and is also ideal for making closeups of birds and wild animals without the aid of a telephoto lens.
