OPERATION OF OPTICAL SYSTEM THE SPOT SIZE CONTROL HANDLE (“trombone”) is located on the right-hand side of the spotlight housing just above the base pan. A variation of spot sizes in a ratio of 5:1 can be obtained with the movement of the Spot Size Control from one extreme to the other. THE APERTURE SELECTOR (“iris”) is the front handle projecting through the top of the lamphouse cover plate casting.

ANGULAR ADJUSTMENT OF MASKING SHUTTER BLADES THE ANGULARITY of the masking shutter (chopper) blades can be adjusted to com- pensate for the horizontal projection angle, for example, if the spotlight is positioned to the left or right of center stage. Remove the spotlight housing to expose the optical system. AN UNBALANCED CONDITION will occur when the housing is removed, so the vertical tilt locking knob should be tightened.

HANDLING THE SPOTLIGHT GENERALLY THE BEST POSITION FOR OPERATION is to stand near the center of the spotlight on the right-hand side. The angle of tilt and the size and location of the porthole may, however, alter the position for most convenient operation. One hand should be kept on the spot size control handle, as the spot can thus be directed and changed in size simultaneously.
IF THE CENTER OF THE SPOT appears darker or brighter than the edges, loosen the two thumb screws (Figure 4, Item 11) and move the bracket (Item 13) slightly to the rear of the lamp- house. If this does not balance the light, the stop plate (Item 5) must be moved a little toward the front of the bracket (Item 12).
