[Frameworks] Presenting a native ultraPan8 projector.

[Nicholas Kovats]

Carlileb,

This is a specifically modified MK 4 model for a native ultrawide
format apparently made in the early Eighties. But I concur there is a
definite historical lineage with Athena projectors and what appears to
be Kodak Pageant chassis.

I appreciate the observation.
