Projection Engineering, September, 1929 Page 61 The Burt Reproducer for Talking Motion Pictures Burt Reproducer on Powers Projector Features Synchronous Motor Drive (110 or 220 volts, 50 or 60 cycles). Prevents variation in speed from variation in line voltage, or projection load. The Super Cells used require only two stages in head amplifier, hence less distortion. Ease of Threading. When running disk or silent, the Sound-on-Film unit is not threaded. Soundon-Film threads as easily as through a Powers gate. Turn Table Is Accessible, being up high at the side of the machine. Easy to Install. Installation can be made by the ordinary operator, and wire man. Projector Head is driven by its main drive gear and is not required to drive any part of the sound equipment. Only Three Shafts: (1) Motor Drive Shaft, (2) Sound Film Shaft, (3) Disk Table Shaft. Variable Si>eed can be used for making schedule by driving the head off the Powers Motor, when running silent. Change from synchronous drive to variable speed drive requires about ten seconds. No Universals — No flexible couplings, flexible shafts, or long unsupported shafts are used, as these produce tremolo. Fire Hazard Is Decreased by use of this equipment. Failure of take-up does not cause film to pile up in light. Write for Bulletin No. 291 Manufactured by R. C. BURT SCIENTIFIC LABORATORIES, 900-904 East California St., Pasadena, Calif.
