In the 1960's what was then known as the National Film Theatre in Waterloo had one of these projectors(sound version) adapted to have a carbon arc light source.
The light output was staggering even on a big cinema screen and the picture was rock steady.
From memory they were marketed as Nilus Cirse and Oregon and sound and silent versions were available but don't know who the original manufacturer was.

Well, I decided to buy the red one but now I need some old fashioned reels for it. And a power lead, It would be interesting just to see it in action
