Projection Development and Automation in the Rank Theater Division
R. R. E. Pulman · Journal of the SMPTE · 1967
A recent development of the Rank Organisation is the “Cinemation” system which automatically operates the program and theater in general while permitting the projectionist to concentrate on the finer points of the presentation. It can be operated by remote control, from any point in the auditorium, and can work automatically, by a timing mechanism. The film itself can also originate the control signals. The device is modernizing projection rooms.
