170 The ' Urban" Bioscope Projector. The Frame and Bearings are solid steel castings, finished in green enamel and gold striping. The shafts are stub steel : the gear and sprockets, film holder, eccentric and lens supports of highly finished hard brass and bell metal, all accurately cut. The Shutter is adjustable to the use of any focus objective and is equipped with the translucent, violet blade which eliminates all flicker. The Objective furnished herewith is an Urban Special Cylinder Lens, with brass lens mount, to fit any focus. The Pneumatic Light Cut=off (patented), which prevents the firing of films, acts entirely automatic. The Upper Film Reel Support with tube and disc for use with single films. All metal parts are highly burnished, and the entire machine is of handsome and business-like appearance. Every " Urban" Machine is guaranteed. All the parts are most carefully made, accurately finished, and scientifically constructed. As the success of the resulting pictures depends solely and entirely on the accuracy of the mechanism, it is very obvious that to obtain the best and most perfect results, the most accurate instrument is absolutely necessary.
