Author Topic: Trout's Sound & Projection Manual Richard Quesnelle Film Handler Posts: 67 From: Penetang, Ontario, Canada Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-21-2000 01:44 PM                     I have been collecting all the info available in our booth and compiling it, along with the film-tech stuff, in a binder. Along the way I found various sheets from this Trout's Sound & Projection Manual. Was this a complete publication? I only have a couple of sheets that I will copy and send to you Brad (along with a copy of the Ballantyne Tube amp, which I found in the booth). I can't wait to see an answer. This has been bothering me. Thanks Rich  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-21-2000 01:57 PM                     They were mainly copies of manuals some very usefull info though some one has a tribute website but I can't remeber who (sorry) but they did post it on the forum try a search  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-21-2000 02:51 PM                     Richard, I have a complete copy of it. If anyone is interested I will send you a complete copy for the cost of copying at Kinkos. There is not too much that still pertains to todays cinemas though.

Therefore, he must've been well into his 80s, when he died in '78. ------------------ Better Projection Pays!  |  IP: Logged Larry Shaw Expert Film Handler Posts: 238 From: Boston, MA, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 04-27-2000 04:19 PM                        Do any other fish have Sound and Projection Manuals?

I guess Enid Oklahoma musta been the projector capitol of the world back then. Its 50 single sided pages to copy. Off to Kinkos it goes. I'll get a half dozen copies of it made up for those that requested it.
