->Things are looking up for Brenda!!!!   Tonights meeting was by far the
->most enjoyable meeting I have attended!  Guess what?!  I got to run
->the TDC projector!!!!!!  For the first part of the meeting, I handled
->the focusing part while another person did the horizontal, another
->did the vertical, and another did the slide loading.  Focusing was
->not much to do.  People were yelling for the horizontal and the
->vertical (90% horizontal) adjustments to be made.  After the first
->show (these were slides taken by PSSP members) Mr. Duggin tried to
->explain the importance of mounting properly and consistantly by
->standards set for stereo photography.  He threatened that in the
->future there would be no more adjusting of the projector.  Either
->mount properly by set standards or suffer the consequences.  A few
->members argued that you could not be consistant because viewing
->situations vary.  For example one person said that if you mount to
->project in your living room the same slide would not work for a
->larger room where the projector would be farther away. Someone else
->said the size of the screen would make a difference. Anyway, this got
->around to a few members saying we should have a mounting class!
->:^)))))I had to pinch myself!  Was I dreaming?!  Was this MY stereo
->club?!!  I was thrilled!  I asked if different mounts could be
->demonstrated since I was interested in learning about Albions and
->RBTs.  I would actually like to see it done by someone who knows how
->and since people seem to have slightly different tecniques, it would
->be interesting to see.  Bob Leonard said there is no difference
->between the various slide mounts, the windows are all in the same
->place for Realist.  Windows are all in the same place for Nimslo,
->just smaller windows.  But the spacing is the same.  I was a little
->confused by this because I thought I have heard reference to windows
->being different in relation to the stereo window, like close up, at
->the window, and distance.  What am I not understanding?  Well,
->anyway, next club meeting, we are having a slide mounting work shop
->and I cant wait!  I already have RBTs to try and plan to order some
->Albions before the next meeting. 

Wow!

FOUR people to run a projector??? With the Dual Hawk, I get to do it
all, all on my own! And Bill Duggan is absolutely right that there is no
need for horizontal and vertical adjustments WHATSOEVER. The differences
between the various mounts are not significant with regard to viewing
comfort - their only effect will be to move the window back anf forth a
touch. In a properly blacked out projection room this effect will be
difficult to detect.

And it makes no difference what size the projected image. The slide
should be mounted the same.

Sounds like that mounting class is long overdue :-) :-) :-)
