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. XII] DO AND DO NOT WITH ROOMS AND SCREENS 473 9. If possible place the projection apparatus at the back of the room (§612). 10.

If a translucent screen is used the objects must be put into the apparatus with the picture facing the objective (§516). 14. Use a good screen (§ 621). 15. If you use a mirror or metalliic screen remember that it does not reflect equally throughout the 180 degrees (§ 629). 1 6. Make the screen image large enough so that the most distant spectator can see the details (§633, 639). 9. Do not place the projection apparatus in the middle of the room if it can be avoided. 10. Do not let the axial ray strike the screen obliquely. 1 1 . Do not incline the screen unless necessary. 12. Do not try to use the blackboard without lighting it by hidden lights. 13. Do not forget the rules for erect images when using a translucent screen. 14. Do not use a dirty screen. Wash it or give it a fresh coat of white paint. 15.

Do not have the screen image too small nor too large.
