Tα work the apparatus a strong light is projected through the prisms and through the opening, across which strips of wire are fixed in order to break up the rays, and thence on to a back-drop scene. When the prisms are turned in opposite directions id is asserted thai) the most beautiful and vivid coloureffects are produced. J.
