RADIO PRINCIPLES
AID COLOR MOVIES
Device Founded on Vacuum
Tube Used in Recording
Different Shades.

First the talkies and now the color
movies owe their success to radio prin-
ciples, founded on the vacuum tube
that general utilitarian which so closely
approaches the human brain cell.
The recording spectrometer," or
''color analyzer," which matches colors
with uncanny accuracy for reproduc-
ton on the screen, is the medium.
adapted from radio, that so vastly has
improved movies in natural color. In
vented by William Hoyt Peck of New
York, a veteran in the color movie
field, the spectrometer also should make
possible television in colors when that
radio art becomes practicable public
servant
In washington on visit. Mr.. Peck
explained the why's and wherefores OF
his invention. Improvement in color
movies long has been a problem, he
brought out. because the natural color
camera is much more alert than the
human eye. The human eye, for exam
pie, he says may accept color as
blood-red. but the natural color camera
reproduces it as a cerise or orange,
Colors May Vary.
Consequently, with the varying light
ing effects necessary in photography.
q ballet ensemble, decked out in old
rose, might reproduce in six or eight
different colors.
But the new color analyzer matches
the colors of the subject photographed
which are not perceivable to the human
eye. Moreover, he says, it will analyze
lighting, denoting Just what percentage
of each color in the spectrum is de-
rived from any light source. 1t shows
exactly what color effect is achieved
when different materials are exposed
to the same light.
To use the Peck device, the Color
craft Corporation, with which he is
associated. is building at Long Island
City what Mr.. Peck describes as the
largest colored motion picture labora-
tory in the world The plant he de-
clares, should be completed by April Is,
and will be equipped with the very
latest and finest of machinery and
special devices to automatically re-
produce colored motion pictures in
large quantities.
Check Illumination.
I'VE have developed a special re-
cording spectrometer which will be used
on sets before they are photographed
to check the illumination on different
parts Of the stage. and to check the
color value of the costumes, drapes and
other materials" he said. I'VE found
it necessary to develop a special photo
electric cell with high sensitivity in the
visible part of the spectrum. This cell
also is sensitive in both the infra-red
and ultraviolet regions.
ITO properly amplify the minute cur
rent generated by the photo-electric
cell, we are using four screen-grid tubes,
all carefully shielded so as to get sum-
ctent current to operate the recording
instrument
