American Cinematographer - September 1968 - 75

cast in color for the first time. This
huge amount of equipment was trucked
from F&B/CECO's New York lighting
rental department in several forty-foot
trailers.
Undoubtedly one of the largest and
most complex lighting installations of
recent years, the F&B/CECO gear was
slated for the Democratic National
Convention in Chicago immediately
after the Miami completion, followed
by the lighting of Atlantic City's Con¬
vention Hall for the annual color net¬
work telecast of the Miss America
Pageant.
Within the last few years, F&B/
CECO has suppl'ed lighls and gener¬
ators for New York's Yankee Stadium
when Pope Paul visited in 1966, and
more recently, furnished the lights for
the color TV coverage of the late Rob¬
ert F. Kennedy's Memorial Mass in
New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral.
All of this is in addition to regularly
supplying feature fi'ms be:ng shot on
location, with all their lighting, cam¬
era and sound rental requirements.

TV stations the FE-50 is the most
versatile, fully automated Ektachrome

scratching film. The system is so
sensitive that film can be held man¬

ually while machine is in operation,

lower film assemblies to rise.

ment to increase ASA indexes to
250 and higher are incorporated.

standard ASA indexes or acceler¬
ated indexes because of Filmline's
