An interesting caravan outfit is now • making its way aeross America, hayineset out from California a short while ago for the purpose of making a pictorial record by " motion " and " still " • pictures of scenes in the various States. The caravan consists of a Fag,eol roadster, to which is attached a pnllman trailer equipped for carrying five people. The prime-mover weighs 41 tons, and the pullman, when loaded, more than 8 tons. The latter is equipped with a complete cinematograph outfit, including developing and printing appliances for " motion " pictures and ordinary photographic studies. As the caravan crosses
the country pictures are being taken in representative cities and then printed and shown immediately in the local theatres. At a later date the pictures taken in each city will be assembled into a complete reel. During the winter months the caravan will tour the south, and in the summer of next year return via the middle west states.
it is interesting to note that the hauling medium is fitted with Goodyear giant pneumatics of 36-in. by dimensions, whilst those on the trailer are of the same make but of 34-in. by 7-in. dimensions.
