492d HANDBOOK OF PROJECTION FOR where the angle of observation does not exceed 20°. In order now to obtain the maximum results in screen brightness for any given current consumption it is only necessary to choose that screen, or screens, which shows the highest value in the column marked R. Next assuming a maximum angle of 30° we -find that only two screens of class A have a ratio of normal to extreme (30°) reflection factor which is less than 4.0. Hence on the basis of our assumptions only two screens of class A are suitable for use in an auditorium where the maximum angle of observation is 30°. Turning to class B however we find that all of the screens have a ratio at 30°, less than 4.0. Again the screen having the highest average reflection factor, R, will give the most brilliant picture for a given energy consumption. (Author's note : This average reflection factor is found by adding the reflector factor for the 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 degree angles and dividing by 6).

In class B, four of the screens however are suitable and all of the screens of class C fall within the specified limit.
