  • <p>Traralgon Village Drive-In Princes Highway, Traralgon, VIC - Ted Hogno Manager & projectionist.</p> <p>Photo - BRYAN PETTS-JONES - LATROBE VALLEY EXPRESS</p> <p>The drive-in abruptly closed during May 1970, after serving the population of the surrounding areas for a quarter of a century. The Projectionist / Manager at the time of closing was Mr. Ted Hogno. The screen was taken down immediately after closure, while the land remained vacant for a number of years. The Latrobe Regional Hospital has now been built on the site.</p> <h1>The projection room</h1> <p>The projection room was equipped with Century DAW projectors and Strong xenon lamp houses. In the late 1970’s/early 1980’s, Village updated most of their drive-in projection plants to the American Century brand. The DAW model was manufactured specifically for drive in use. “D” denoting double shutter – more light for drive-in use, “A” being the model designation and “W” being for water cooled projector head for use with large current lamphouses.
