QUESTIONNAIRE TO DETERMINE THE REQUIREMENTS OF CINEMAS AND THEATRES FOR CINEMASCOPE INSTALLATIONS
It is suggested that you examine your theatre carefully as respects the following points:
1) Can a picture of twice the width of the present picture be secured within the
proscenium, or must it be brought forward of the proscenium, thereby shortening the
throw, or must structural alterations be arranged which might either shorten or
lengthen the throw?
2) Should your projection angle to the horizontal be 14 - 15 degrees or more, can the screen
frame in the position you desire to place it be tilted to the rear to approximately 6- 7
degrees?
3) When a patron is seated in any seat, would he be able to see the top and bottom of a
picture of the present height and twice the present width, if the screen position is
approximately the same as at present? Likewise, will he be able to see the top and
bottom of a similar picture should the screen be brought forward or placed to the rear of
its present position?

1. Projection Lenses
