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.

MOTION PICTURE PROJECTION 115 feeds the film to the lower reel 0. Because of the increasing diameter of the roll of film due to winding the film on reel 0, the velocity of rotation of 0 must be allowed to vary; this is accomplished by means of the belt drive P, the belt permitting slippage below the maximum speed. It should be carefully noted that the total revolutions made by each of the three sprockets E, I, and M, is the same, the only difference being that the motion of E and M is constant while that of I is intermittent.
