Chief projectionist Bill Newman, (with phone) and his assistant Tom Payne in the projection room at the Metro, Collins Street 1938.
          Company policy was for three projectors, but only two Simplex machines are here. Top and bottom unit slide machines are on the far
          right. A spotlight may be immediately left of the slide machines. A fire blanket hangs near Simplex #2.











































          A classic Metro installation, same era. This is the booth of the Metro, Albert Street, Brisbane. Projectors are Super Simplex with rear
          shutter. The sound system was RCA High Fidelity wide range. A Brenkerts Effects Machine (see CR 43) is at the far end of the room,
          under it’s own exhaust hood. Both images: Clyde Simpson
