Complete Projectionist 1949
This was the last edition of the book
There were ten editions starting in 1933
Unlike the lace it up, press the button, don't care a damn, and leave it brigade of today
this book covered all the aspects of cinema projection in the days when projection was proper skilled work,
when the projectionist was responsible for all the technical applications in the cinema
Not only the showing of films, maintenance of projection & sound equipment, but the electrical installation,
heating boilers, input and extract fans, and even supplying batteries for the floor staffs torches
Oh yes, I have even repaired the girls shoes with wood glue, and supplied film cement as nail varnish remover
Happy days
Below is the book Index giving you some idea of the responsibilities of the projectionist
