MOVING PICTURE PROJECTOR AT
G. O. P. HALL LONGEST WORLD
CLEVELAND, May 23—The mov
ing-picture projector of the Cleveland
which will probably be used when the
Republican national convention is held
Here in June, is believed by the man
agement of the hall to have the long
est projection of all projectors in the
country, perhaps in the world, 335 ft.
If this projector were to be installed
in an ordinary picture theatre a part
of one figure in a scene would cover
he whole screen. Lens, carbon hold
ers and lampjaousing were specially
made to carry the length of the hall.
The projection chamber is concealed
Where the ceiling slopes into the rear
wall.
Spot lights which will be cast upon
the speakers are in the same chamber,
ami therefore have a range considered
equally unusual, although no special
fixtures were necessary.
Pictures are cast on a rigid 2,000
pound sheet of ground glass and ce
ment on a wooden frame.
