It is believed to act as one of the main adjustments for the particle stream. It is most likely what Venkman would have used to shorten his stream to prevent Spengler's face from being burned off in Ghostbusters. The R-701 is made by the Clippard Minimatic corporation located in Cincinnati OH. It was one of the first found items for the Proton Packs, as it says right on its label what it is, and who makes it. The most amazing thing about it, is its still available from Clippard and hasn't changed in 25 years.
