Easy Method to Make Coffee P-986
In Theatre Concession
Drive-in and indoor exhibitors and concession
managers will be interested in the
E-Z Way coffeemaker manufactured by
Steel Products Co. This new, simple
method produces fresh cupsful from a
liquid coffee concentrate. It is merely
plugged into an electric light outlet and
connected to a hot water supply. The measuring
and mixing faucet used to dispense
the beverage is self -cleaning.
Electronics Shutoff Prevents P-987
Flooded Vacuum Motors
Multi-Clean Products, Inc., is now offering
theatremen a new device that protects
vacuum cleaner motors against flooding.
The electronic shutoff is an Independent
wiring system which includes two electrodes
mounted parallel at the base of the turbine.
Multi-Clean claims that as little as one
drop of water crossing these electrodes will
cause them to break the circuit, shutting
off the motor. Flooded electric motors have
long been a costly cause of trouble to users
of industrial vacuums because they frequently
overload the vacuum tanks. Several
models of the Multi-Clean industrial
vacuum cleaners are now being offered
with the electronic shutoff.
Drum-Shaped Smoking Stand P-988
Is Sturdy and Attractive
A smart addition to
theatre lobbies and
lounges is a drumtype
smoking stand,
18 inches in diameter
and 20 inches high, of
steel construction
with a black finish,
being manufactured
by Associated Ticket
& Register Co. It
takes a large supply
of stubs, ashes and candy empties. The)
same drum style is available as a table,'
with the disposal section removed. The'
table top is clear Lucite.
Grease Trap Cleaner P-989
For Drive-ins
1
Drive-ins with food
facilities involving
disposal of grease and
other fatty waste
have found such fats
sometimes clog up the
traps and drainage
systems leading to the
sewer or the septic
tank. Employing the
same principle by
which the human
stomach digests food, a new grease
j
trapJ
cleaner, known as "Anco." containing;
no poison or caustic, has been made
available. It cannot harm plumbing
or septic tanks, but actually stimulates ac-i
tivity in the latter. About once or twice
a week, the contents of a one-ounce envelope
of powder are poured in the drain.;
A Marker for Drive-ln Traffic
And Parking Lines
The Jiffi-Liner, a
practical traffic line
marker, should prove
of particular value to
drive - in managers
and operators. Excellent
for marking
parking lines, the unit
P-990
is simple to operate.
Brushes are employed
to produce a sharp
line. Paint materials
are fed to brushes by gravity flow
from one quart paint containers, released
through a valve operated by
lever on the handle as the operator simply
walks and marks lines. General Paint CorpJ
is the manufacturer.
