Abstract

One hundred and thirty types of picture projection lamps are today required to fill the demands placed on the lamp manufacturers. This large number of types, each being available in several different voltages and in most cases with either one of two kinds of bases, brings the total to over 500. The total annual demand for the entire country is only 240,000 units for lamps of this type. The result is that the lamps are expensive and that the amount of engineering that can be devoted to each type is entirely inadequate. — This situation is partly because small improvements in lamps have been made almost annually in the past, and partly because of wide diversity of opinion among projector designers. By assembling and coordinating the ideas of equipment designers, an ideal set of light source requirements can be laid down. Based on these requirements the lamp manufacturers can then establish the characteristics of light sources to be introduced during the next few years.
