182 PROJECTION OF IMAGES OF OPAQUE OBJECTS [Cn. VII FIG. 98. THE NEW REFLECTING LANTERN OF WILLIAMS BROWN & EARLE (No. 3 BR 15). (Cut loaned by Williams Brown & Earle). This is a combination projector for lantern slides and for opaque objects. Commencing at the right: N Arc lamp in the lamp-house with the feeding screws extending beyond the lamp-house. M Lamp-house of metal with the ventilator at the top. C First element of the condenser for giving approximately parallel rays. D The opaque object in position. The light from the lamp shines directly upon it and is reflected outward toward the projection objective (£). E Projection objective for opaque objects. F Mirror for reflecting the image of the opaque object to the screen and for correcting the right to left inversion. B Water-cell and second element of the condenser for transparency projection. A Opening for the lantern-slide carrier. L Projection objective for lantern slides. For lantern-slide projection a mirror at C is brought into position to reflect the light out along the optic axis of B and L. objective must be used for such a screen distance. (For a magnification of six and a 15 meter screen distance, an objective of 250 cm. (100 inches) is necessary). § 289. Arc lamp and amount of current. — If one wishes to use more than 25 amperes, the arc lamp should be hand-feed. Up to 25 amperes, the right-angled carbons work well. Beyond that amount the inclined or vertical carbons are more satisfactory for
