The article below mentions "rebuilding the projection booth to accommodate the three large Cinerama projectors". If you look at pictures of the booth from 1960 and 1973, they look exactly the same. Maybe they were talking about the interior not exterior. Also, looking at pictures from 1973 and 1975, two of the three side boxes are gone. I'm guessing they were removed in 1962 so they could fit the new Cinerama screen.
