OsGlagTaph Company TO Begin
Operations in Few Weeks
LOCAL NAN IS VICE PRESIDENT
Ernest Twigg, Draughtsman at Lam
ders, in Important Positi6n--Presi-
nent i'm Motion Picture World.

Equipped with patents and all facili-
ties for the manufacture of the most
up-to-date picture machines and cam
eras, The Oscilagraph company, an
organization with capital stock of
$4,000, will begin operations
in this city with a few weeks.
The president, George w. Bingham,
is busy completing his last drawings
The concern was incorporated in the
secretary of states office late last year
and, since that time, the officers and
directors have been busy perfecting
arrangements. If their plans ma
terialize, as they undoubtedly will,
New Britain will be noted for the
manufacture of motion picture ma
chimes in addition to hardware.
Machine Most Efficient.
With the machine which the Os-
cilagraph company is to make, it is
possible to project a picture continu-
Gus with the full power of the light
continuously on the screen from one
picture to another, there being abso-
lutely no flicker. This feature alone
makes it as desirable machine for the
theater which has ever been invented
Another of it's strong points is that it
is capable of projecting a very good
picture with incandescent lamps, be-
ing an outfit which can be used in
schools lodge rooms, churches Or
homes where the open arc-light would
not be allowed. Inasmuch as the ma
chine has a patent for allowing the
film to stand still, it is unusually good
for pictures requiring long explana-
tons. No other machine has, as yet,
appeared which will meet these re-
quirements and, at the same time,
produce a good picture.
The new company, whose New York
office is at 203 ST. Nicholas street,
owns the motion camera patent issued
February 5 of this year, which has
focal plane shutter that can be ad-
justed while running for any quick
ness of exposure, producing the best
photography of quick moving objects
ever accomplished.
Local Man An Officer.
The Officers of the company are the
president, George M. Bingham. who
came here from New York about six
months ago and now resides on Pearl
court, the vice president, Ernest Twigg
draughtsman at the Landers, Frarv
and Clark company, and the secre-
tary and treasurer, c. M. Due, assist
ant librarian at the State library.
che stock is practically all engaged
ana the company is ready to go on
With the manufacture of it's product.
The new machine is the inven-
ton of President Bingham, who. be-
lore coming to this city was affiliated
with various moving picture interests
in New York. At the time. seven
years ago, when the Vitagraph COM
pany was started in New York, he
was engaged to superintend the manu-
1acture of machines. He drew several
blue prints and was about to begin
making the machines when his COM
pany became a member of the Motion
PICTURE Patenuts company. and was
prohibited from making machines.
Has Twenty-scven Patents.
Mr.. Bingham has taken out no less
; than twenty seven patents for moving
picture machines and is regarded In
motion picture circles as a genius in
this particular line. Many of his
patents are in use On machines being
used all about the country.
President Bingham stated this af-
ternoon that the concern is now con-
sldering a suitable location for the
manufacture of it's product Arrange
ments in regard to this matter will be
settled definitely next week.
