Orientation/Arrangement: Use distilled water in jar. The key to this installation is tomake certain the "head" image covers the entire stone. Eyeball the level of the projector(there is no correct distance) until it looks "right." The distance of the front lens isapproximately 5 1/2" from the jar. Pedestal (not part of the piece) should be 43 x 20 x 28inches. The narrow side of the pedestal has to have a shelf to store the laserdisc player anda door (the full width) to hide the equipment. Also note that the pedestal must have airholes.
