The Art Deco look of the arched design and glass windows is incredible! It looks like a large green house.

With all these switches and the extent of the control room, this structure must have been something in its heyday-very powerful!

Rick is entirely correct , of course, about the boxes beneath the windows (portholes)., Each projector had such a control box containing a switch for transferring power from the photocell lamp on one projector to the other (along with some type of indicator light to show which soundhead was active), as well as a pot for regulating the sound level on each projector. The other half ot the changeover procedure involved stepping on a pedal attached to the base of the projector pedestal, which quickly closed the fire shuitter on one machine while simultaneously opening the fire shutter on the other machine. It was all in all a faily crude procedure, but very effective.

I left the theater projection business just before the advent of digial sound, platter systems, xenon lamps, and so forth.

This looks like it's on the backward, as indicated by the small, rectangular windows. I wish I could have helped the most chronic patients with music and art. God Bless them all!
