    Description

    This is a comprehensive overview of early (1930s) commercial sound motion picture projectors and related accessories. It was produced by the RCA Institute. Profusely illustrated with very cool photos and drawings of projectors, sound amplifiers, interconnection techniques for multiple projectors, cross-sections of lighting assemblies, film feed mechanisms, and much more.
    These booklets were used as training manuals and this offering contains a hand-written, two-page test paper from a student. It's a delightful read and a nice piece of history. The 4th photo shows one of the pages.
    If you are a vintage movie fan you will want to bid aggressively. Documents like this are not everyday auction items. The inclusion of the test paper makes it a one-of-a-kind offering.
    Bid with confidence. I am an experienced, well-reviewed seller.
