Re: Black/White mounts

[P3D call <call@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi friends,
As we say in England "I've got to get my happenyworth in on this 
discussion!".

The reason for the black side of the slide facing forward is to minimise 
the projection lens picking up internal reflection of the front of the 
mount.   The reason, in spite of what was said, for the white side is to 
face the lamp and 'throw back' heat wherever possible.

The older Kodak Carousel 35mm slide projectors were well known for their 
intensive heat at the gate and you had to do soimething to try and 
reduce this.  Fortunately most modern projectors (like the Kindermann 
range, for example, run very cool at the gate so it is less of a 
problem).

We  -  The Widescreen Centre  -  stock the widest range of slide mounts 
int he U.K.....the complete GePe range,  Bonum range and MetalMask 
range, plus masking tape.  Virtually all the mounts have one dark side 
and one light side!
