About This Book

A practical technical manual presents the principles and hardware of projection and early cinema, beginning with optical arrangements, condensers, objectives and alignment, then surveying light sources such as electric arc, incandescent, limelight and acetylene. It details accessories, image carriers, screen and stage setup, episkopic and scientific projection, and use of projection equipment as enlargers or spotlights. The kinematograph section explains flicker reduction, film transport and safety, lens and stand considerations, handling and repair of film, common faults and their remedies, trick-film techniques, recording methods, and cost and maintenance guidance.
