Written in 1914 for projectionists, theatre electricians and managers, this handbook explains the electrical circuit and its hazards, the carbon arc lamp, lenses and projection, the motion-picture machine and the handling of flammable film. Later chapters turn to dynamos and motors, stage lighting and the electrical tricks behind theatrical illusions.
A fascinating period document for historians of early cinema and the stage, not a guide to modern wiring. Download the free EPUB.
