Vintage Film Gallery-Projection

Regardless of their content, sometimes film cans held their own charm with the variety of their labels. Sometimes the label indicated the laboratory (as in the two following examples), or showed the logos of the distributor.
 

Some labels illustrating the distributors logos.
 
   
 

This DeVry XD projector was made just after the war. Remarkably, spares are still available from a company in Chicago.
 

The projector above is shown being laced for a show at Group 9.5 in London. This reconditioned machine now has a solar cell sound pickup and solid state pre-amplifier and power supplies. Powered by a 1000 watt pre-focus lamp, a fair 8 foot picture can be obtained.  Return to Gallery Index
