Abstract
This paper discusses the practicability of converting existing railway dining cars for the presentation of motion pictures as a medium for relaxation while still retaining the use of the car for restaurant service. Determining factors for selecting available 16-mm standard projection equipment are given, and problems presented by the moving train with respect to good screen results are outlined. Necessary modifications to standard equipment are described and details regarding a rigid demountable screen and an adequate loudspeaker system are given. The large power capacity of the car's battery system, in conjunction with the General Electric Amplidyne convertor, is used to operate the complete motion picture installation. The paper concludes with statements regarding the final results obtained, passenger comments received, and the general public reaction to the installation made for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway.
