Casablanca at the Comanche Drive-In
John Groy, owner of the Comanche Drive-In in Buena Vista, Colorado, checks the carbon arc compartment in one of the theater’s massive 1956 RCA movie projectors before a showing of “Casablanca”, July 25, 2017. The projectors run on nine volts of electricity, powered by a three-phase generator housed on the first floor of the building. The projectors use a carbon arc lamp similar to a welder to produce light. (Photo by Ken Scar)
