CARPENTER SOUND PROJECTOR
Title
CARPENTER SOUND PROJECTOR
Description
An interesting projector developed post WW2 but with pre-war design. It has characteristic quite similar to the BTH machines of the day as well as American counterparts. It has a 1000watt. Lamp output and 1600ft. capacity. Its claim to fame is that its operating side was on the left as with some American projectors. It was perhaps to be the reason why though being an excellent projector it did not sell overly well in the UK. Now a much sought after machine. Has a voltmeter above the lens mount. The sound/silent control is a knurled knob which is screwed in for silent speed.
