Wow, these projectors were probably not used much past the mid 1950's. The round cans above and below the projector head (open door white interior) were to help contain nitrate film fires. The 2 white wires running up the back indicate the lamps were changed from 'Carbon Arc' to xenon bulbs (also mid 50's).

Note the section of rope and the sliding door above the projector window. Nitrate film burned so fast and hot they setup the booth to close itself off from he rest of the building automatically if the film caught fire.

And after clicking through all the other photos, Great job on these photos. They are ever so cool and a little creepy.
