Rare footage of an actual Thomas Wilfred Clavilux in operation. This was the first day it has operated in nearly 50 years. You lose dimension in this youtube video. The screen has a radius to it which for lack of a better description, makes it like a small IMAX theater.
There were 14 of these small units built and only seven are known to exist. This one has just gone through a mechanical and cosmetic preservation.
