During the early 1970's I worked for the airline movie system division of Bell & Howell. On a trip to Sydney, Australia I was given a tour of their Bell & Howell manufacturing plant. I noticed that they were manufacturing 500 series 16mm projectors and commented that we used the same mechanism for the projectors on the aircraft. The tour guide said they sell a lot of these projectors to the school districts, however, the female teachers don't like them because of the white. But, they are green I said. No, no, no, he said, I am not talking about the color, I am talking about the fact they are eavy.
