Abstract: Optimum performance from the motion-picture projector requires that it be designed as an integral optical-mechanical system. Using one component of the projector as an example, the first part of this paper illustrates the fact that specifications for the individual components cannot be arbitrarily assigned without regard to the other components of the system and that an improvement in any one aspect of performance may be accompanied by a degradation in some other aspect. A suggestion is made as to how improvement in motion-picture projection equipment can be attained through the cooperative action of equipment manufacturers and the professional societies. The second part of the paper is a description of each of the optical components of present-day projectors aimed at answering some of the questions which are continually being asked of the optical manufacturer, thereby presenting an insight into the many factors which the optical designer must consider and why an integral design is so essential for optimum performance.
