We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

465 Projecting Film prints should be shipped with an instruction sheet listing the correct aspect ratio, projection speed for silent films, special handling requirements, and name of the person to call should questions arise about the print. Archive and studio prints should be shown only by a qualified projectionist, who remains in the booth throughout the screening. Accidents do happen, even with the most sophisticated equipment. Should film damage occur, do not mend the film yourself unless repairs are required for the screening. It is essential to notify the lender of damage when the print is returned. Lenders should include with the print a form on which projectionists can note the condition of the print, as received, and report any new damage. 1 . Check that the projector is fitted with an aperture plate and lens appropriate to the film's aspect ratio. 2. Set lamphouse output for proper screen brightness. The brightness recommended by SMPTE is 16 foot lamberts (FL) in the center and no less that 12 FL at the sides. If the lamphouse is properly adjusted and installed, light will not damage the film. 3. Run a black, opaque 35mm film loop through the projector to test for scratching. 4. Adjust gate pressure to the "minimum setting" to eliminate jitter and to achieve a steady picture. 5. Adjust take-up and hold-back tension to the least amount necessary for proper film handling. 6. Before loading the film, check all guide rollers for dirt, flat spots, and smooth rotation. Check the focus using the SMPTE test film. 7. When threading the film, set the loop sizes according to the specifications particular to the projector type. Be sure to keep the loops small enough so that they do not slap against the machine. Also, be sure the loops are the right size for the synchronization of picture and sound.
