Movie Makers (Jun-Dec 1928)

three feet square or larger being the easiest to handle. Where portability is desired, an improved type, the construction of which is shown in Fig. 2, will appeal to every amateur. The frames, two to each reflector, are made of any soft wood l"x2". A triangular piece of plywood, measuring six inches on the short sides, is screwed at each corner of the frame with %"x6" flat-head screws. Each frame is covered with beaverboard secured with flat-headed nails at about three-inch intervals. The two frames are joined by two flat hinges, and then the surfaces of the beaverboard are either painted or covered with leaf aluminum. As each frame measures two by four feet, when in use you have a reflector four feet square. Due to the folding feature, the surfaces are always bright and ready for use without preliminary dusting off. The mechanical minded amateur will readily devise a folding leg to fit each half of the reflector, the leg when extended forming support for it. Try out a set of these reflectors and see for yourself if the results do not justify the labor expended in making them. The quality of your films will show such improvement that you will wonder how you ever got along without them. P. S. A box-type screen makes a good reflector in an emergency.
