Hi Lila. I would love to get to use the projectors in your theater. They are beauties. Is Joe Patten still in charge of the "Mighty 'Mo?"Have not been in the Fox in many years. Couldn't get inside for the GWTW premere awhile back! The place is a treat for the eyes.

Readers of this forum topic may be interested in a new full-length history of the Master Brenograph F7 and its manufacturer: "Projects Everything but the Picture": The Brenograph and the Brenkert Light Projection Company, published by the Embassy Theatre Foundation. Fort Wayne, Indiana. The 60-page booklet is available free of charge for online reading or downloading as a PDF from a link on the theatre's "Historic Brenograph" web site page; print copies may be ordered from a separate link on the page. In addition, links on that same page to two catalogues of the theatre's collection of more than 4,000 Brenograph and lantern slides may be of interest as well. The booklet tells the story of the Brenograph's forerunners, the establishment of the Brenkert Company and its gradual development of the F series of combination projectors culminating in the F7, Maurice Workstel Studios's creation of special slides for the projector, effects created by Harry Rubin (head of projection for Public), and the eventual collapse of the market from the Brenograph with the changes in theatrical exhibition that followed the 1929 stock market crash. The text is complemented by more than 85 illustrations, including the Brenograph's forerunners, early patents, numerous trade journal advertisements, catalogue excerpts, slides, and detailed photographs and diagrams of the machine.
