Bell 35m.m. Portable Sound-onFilm Projector
Completely Solves the Sound Problem for Smaller Theatres — Highest Quality Performance with Economy, Adaptability and Profit Plus
Primarily designed for portability, Bell equipment is in every respect truly professional in its optical system, sound reproduction and mechanism, it is the first equipment of its kind that has been designed to fulfill the requirements of picture projection and sound reproduction in a manner equal in every respect to the performance of the best of permanent theatre equipments.
For owners of smaller theatres seating up to 1,500, it offers the only logical solution to the sound problem, at a price within reasonable bounds. An owner equipped with Bell, is not irrevocably tied to his location. The change from semi-permanent installation to portable equipment wherewith to fulfill engagements outside the theatre is the work of a few minutes. This opens up a wide field for extra profit to theatre owners. The theatre owner who gets into the rental field through Bell equipment, can give the laugh to competition.
Bell equipment is engineered for sound, not adapted to it. The Tandem unit, illustrated above, as designed in right and left projectors. Can be set up with 18" between lenses or 20 ft. apart. The exclusive Bell Uni-remote control provides for smooth "change over," and individual operation of each projector from one central point.
The exclusive safety features incorporated with Bell design, of which the automatic "dowser'' which shuts off all current when film has run through, or parted, the rear shutter construction, the forced draft cooling system and fire proof mounting, are outstanding, make Bell the safest of projectors yet designed.
Film operating parts are masterpieces of advanced projection engineering. Drive mechanism consists of a large induction motor which assures constant speed under the most adverse power conditions. Lubrication is rendered automatic by immersing moving parts in a bath of oil. All steel parts are chromium plated.
Standard lamp equipment consists of 1000 Watt lamp, but 900 Watt
may be had if desired, and for semi-permanent installation arc
lighting may be employed.
The projection lens mounts will take any type of lens of standard
dimensions. Standard size theatre screens can be fully covered at
50 to 100 foot throws.
Bell sound reproduction is truly superb.
Bell equipment can be used indoors or out. No special wiring
necessary. Operates entirely from 110' Volt A.C. house current.
