1 ^ Edison Kinetoscope Price with 25-40 Ampere Grid Type Rheostat, $250.00 The expert operator chooses the Edison because he can get the best results with it; the beginner favors the Edison because he can depend upon it to give him the least possible trouble. All Mutual Exchanges sell Edison Kinetoscopes. How long will it stand up? That is the vital question. And it is the satisfactory answer which the Edison always gives to this question that has left it without a peer among projecting machines. Simplicity of design and careful selection of materials are combined to make the Edison the steadiest and longest lived projecting machine on the market. Hardened tool steel has been used in the gears and shafts, assuring almost entire freedom from wear in these parts which are subjected to such constant strain. The mitre gears are heavily reinforced and are massive in construction. All the materials which go into the Edison are carefully tested and selected. For, projection having been developed to the highest standard, Edison's watchword then became "endurance." He realized the tremendous importance of building a machine that would give continuous service and was not content until he obtained his goal. Steadiness is obtained by the use of five heavy legs and floor sockets. Economy is assured by the large lamp house and lamp, which permits the use of 12-in. upper and 6-in. lower carbons. ^^^""^ TRADE MARK ,2B2 Lakeslie A¥&mm
