MANAGERS AND PROJECTIONISTS 1225 as extreme, except for very long projection distances. Many advocate as much as four to four feet six inches, which is all right on long projection distances, but too much unless the distance be at least in excess of one hundred feet. That is a matter for very careful consideration. Before deciding, the architect should lay out the light beam at various spacing distances and ascertain exactly what the distortion will be. The spacing should be as much as can be had without objectionable distortion, up to five feet, but before deciding on maximum distances it will be well that the lens maker be consulted as to whether the lenses will have sufficient depth of focus to take care of the situation. On the whole, I believe this whole subject may best be dealt with by quoting the report made by the Projection Committee of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, made at its 1929 spring meeting. It covers the subject of the projection room with fair completeness as to the fundamental requirements of an acceptable room.
