CTS is a fad.  It will quickly blow away with the wind...

Laser printers, vellum and flourescent bulb exposure units are where it's at.  Now where's my stapler so I can get back to stretching screens?

Right next to your poster of RrrrrrrrWubyaBeee and your kitchen stove LOL.

Alan- while I usually agree with you on things, I have to disagree here.... Rubylith, razors and black lights are where the industry is headed.... ;D

great exposure technology except for the fact that the fumes would cause cancer. But in the future when the docs figure out how to cure the lung cancer it will be back!

You know the light produced during welding that they tell you not to look at?
That's what carbon arc is.

fluorescent tubes are also considered arc lamps.  fyi.  there name is pretty self explanatory.

also, i didn't think lamps could cause cancer since most of them burn inside a sealed unit...maybe I am wrong though.

Yea mine was the actual carbon arc rods style. 1/2" diameter each rod. produced a white light.

Carbon arc was not a lamp and was open rods. They gassed quite a bit.

Carbon Arcs were also used for those giant 35MM projectors at the drive in and large movie houses to provide sufficient light in the 'right' spectrum to make Technicolor do it's thing.

Think Gone with the Wind and such in the 30's through the 50's.

My dad was in the airforce for 35 years and his day job was paymaster but in time of war his assignment was as projectionist, and it supposedly got him a top secret clearance.

He occasionally moonlighted at the local  drive in theather while I was growing up so I inhaled my share of carbon arc fumes, I remember going to the drive in with him but seldom remember going home.  Never could stay awake for the entire double feature!

I don't ever seeing us being large enough to justify one, but it's a truly amazing system.


It's not a job if you love doing it.
