Urban-Joy Process, improvement of Kinemacolor, later called Kinekrom
Description
“In the design of apparatus Urban was assisted after 1905 by Henry W. Joy. The Urban-Joy perforator appeared in 1906. The Urban-Joy anti-firing device, a shutter to prevent the firing of inflammable film when projectors broke down, was another of their inventions.”
