EIKI Projectors ... and more
The name EIKI results from the phonetic spelling of
the combination of the Japanese words for "picture" (the sound "ei" as
in "the letter A" or in the word "face") and "machine" (the sounds "k"
and "i" as in the word "key". Think of "A-key to better communication."
and you'll think of EIKI.

Founded
in 1953 in Osaka, Japan to manufacture technology for classroom
instruction, Eiki Industrial Co. Ltd. quickly recognized it possessed
special expertise in the engineering of 16mm Film Projectors, and set
out to design and build the best classroom film handling equipment
possible through a process of continual improvement.
The EIKI Company has been responsible for many
innovative breakthroughs, perhaps the most dramatic being the
modularization of the 16mm projector. Since inception the projector had
become not only more sophisticated, but also more complicated and
costly to manufacture and maintain. Most manufacturers considered the
technology "mature".
