We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

CH. IX] COMBINED PROJECTION 295 b i Block with four guiding cleats of wood. The screw holes in the inside cleat at the left and the outside one at the right are made large, and washers are used on the screws. This is to make accurate centering possible. b 2 Block showing two guiding cleats between the tracks. Only one cleat has large screw holes for centering. b 3 The third carrying block with the guide cleats on the outside of the track rods. Only one has large screw holes for centering. b 4 The fourth carrying block with guide cleats at only one end, and with centering holes in one cleat. At the left Sectional views of the carrying blocks. In b i is shown how to make a table for carrying apparatus along the optical bench, and at t s, the method of screwing the track tubes to the baseboard. In b 4 is shown how to attach a shield with an opening for lantern slides (0). two ways: (i) The arc lamp can be put closer to the condenser, thus making the beam between the elements diverging instead of parallel (fig. i), or (2) a condenser lens of longer focus can be used for the lantern-slide projection. In much of the modern projection apparatus the condenser lenses are easily changed (see fig. 166). FIG. 160. UNIVERSAL LEVEL. (Cut loaned by the L. S. Starr ett Co.}. A level like this which serves for vertical and horizontal leveling is very convenient and essential for projection work. The second method of combined projection is to have two complete lanterns side by side, one for micro-projection and one for lantern-slide work. In this case there should be a doublepole, double-throw switch ; then one can turn either lantern off or on at will (fig. 162, 164). Finally, in much of the modern apparatus special provision is made for combined projection (see fig. 164-176).
