DESCRIPTION
You are bidding on the exact Arc Carbon Rods you see in the photos. We are not collectors or experts so please see all photos & consider them as part of the description.
** THIS IS THE LAST BOX OF THIS SIZE WE HAVE **
These are NOS Vintage, Full box of 50 National Arc Carbon Rods in Original Box. Made in the USA , New York. These have never been used. There are 50 - 9 mm x 9" (or 11/32" X 9" or 9 mm X 230 mm...however you choose to measure) projector Arc Cored Carbon Rods Orptip Cor. Negative. The box label is marked with L 1115. These were used in old Arc Projectors. There was no lamp in these projectors. You would use a 1 positive and 1 negative Arc Carbon Rod and this creates the light when properly powered. There are only a few movie houses that still use Arc Projectors. These were rescued from the Historical Strand Capital Theatre in York, PA. These were found under the projection booth which used to house large arc projectors. They were stored in a dry area out of sunlight for many many years.
The rods are marked :
NATIONAL
TRADEMARKS
OROTIP
MADE IN THE USA
The box has some cosmetic wear from age & storage.
Before the development of high intensity lamps, motion picture projectors used carbon arc lighting. An electric current would be sent through a positive and negative rod. The rods are brought together which causes them to ignite. They are slowly separated until a steady (and extremely bright!) arc is formed. This light would be reflected off of a mirror like reflector through the film, lens, and onto the movie screen. As the carbon rods continued to burn, the gap would become farther apart causing the light to diminish. The projectionist constantly had to monitor the gap to keep the light from going out! Some projectors did this automatically. The tips of the carbon rods reach a temperature around 6500 degrees Fahrenheit!
PLEASE SEE ALL PHOTOS!!!!

About Us
We are a family who loves history and treasure hunting!! Our business is a small one run from our house which is smoke free and pet free in the area where items are stored and listed. It is just Myself, My Wife, and our 18 year old daughter who also loves History and Picking. Before we list any item we give it a good once over to check for damage as well as research the item as best as we can to bring you the most information we can give you. We are not experts in anything but have a love for learning all. We work very very hard to keep our customers happy and coming back. If there are any issues all we ask is that you do not open a claim or leave negative feedback, contact us first and give us a chance to make it right for you, then if you are still not satisfied, do what you must (rarely happens but we are human). We pick several times a week so we are always listing new finds so check back often and save us in your favorite sellers. We also love to check out and buy estates, collections, ect. so if you are in the area or close to us, and you fall into this category, please let us know and we will contact you. I am a teacher who teaches technical theatre and my wife helps me run the antiques and collectibles side of things. We try to teach our daughter about honesty, integrity, and responsibility and this is one way we do that so every transaction with us in an honest one! This is what we do and this is what we love. Please feel free to email us and ask us any questions you may have :)
