Patt.52 / Patt.152

Effects of this type consist of lantern (Patt 52 and 152), effect attachment and objective lens (see figure on right). Stationery slides require a normal slide carrier and turntable front instead of an effect attachment. Slides for the Patt.152 Scene Projector are to special order only and can be provided as black and white or colour photographs. These slides can be made in such a way that distortion through acute angular projections can be corrected. A special slide carrier (ref.516) can be used to change five slides remotely from ref.383 control box. Please state voltage and frequency of supply if other than 200/250 volt 50 cycles when ordering equipment fitted with motors.

High Definition for Patt. 152 (all models)
These high quality lenses must be used for scene projection and many effects are also improved by their use as the black areas are not spoilt and strong contrast results. A backplate is required to fit the lens to effect or turntable front.
