In an apparatus as described, a suspended target provided on its rear with a plurality of contacts, each having an over-balanced lever pivotally mounted in bearings and formed with a bent upper end bearing against a contact plate formed on an insulated block on said target. (10.) In an apparatus as described, means for instantaneously stopping the cinematographe, consisting in a radially disposed spring arm mounted on a spindle of the cinematographe and formed at the end with a bent lug in combination with a spring stop on a lever controlling the rotation of the said spindle. (11.) In an apparatus as described, a gear spindle of the mechanism of the cinematographe provided with a friction clutch one-half of which is secured to a loose pulley adapted to be driven by a belt, a radially disposed spring arm on said spindle formed at its end with a bent lug in combination with a horizontally operating lever controlled by an electro-magnet and formed at its end with a collar fitting around said spindle, a spring between said collar and the pulley, and a bent spring stop secured at one end to said lever, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. (12.) In an apparatus as described, the combination with a cinematographe and a target of a light screen in front of said target, and lamps between said screen and target, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. (13.) In an apparatus as described, a cinematographe, a suspended target, an electric contact on the latter in circuit with the controlling mechanism of said cinematographe in combination with a light screen in front of said target, and lamps between said screen and target, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
