... OHPs [overhead projectors] require a certain amount of routine maintenance, and are also liable to break down (generally at extremely inconvenient times), so it is always advisable to have a spare bulb close at hand; some modern machines do in fact have a built-in spare bulb that can be brought into use at the turn of a knob.

CONT

If your program depends upon the use of a projector, be sure to have spare bulbs on hand. ... There is nothing more embarrassing than to have lamp failure and to have to start thumbing through an instruction book during a presentation.
