Designed for uniformly-illuminated TV image is new Eastman Model 300. lastman 16mm Continuous 'jrojector for Color Telecasts [ A new Ifiinm picijector designed ' h improve the quality of eolor tele'jision film programs by providing continuous, uniformly-illuminated nage. has been announced bv the lastman Kodak Companv. Designated the Eastman 16mm lontinuous Projector. Model 300, le machine is entirely new in deign except for the sound head hich is similar to the head used n the Eastman Model 23 Projector. Ipecial features include an f/l.C) 'ptical system and automatic comlensation for film shrinkage. The optical system on the new irojector has a collimating lens of !5" focal length: tilting, rotating tiirrors to compensate for film ravel: and a 3" f 1.6 objective ens focused on the film. A flying pot television tube is used as the ight source. The projector operates at the itandard speed of 24 frames per econd. The mechanism is driven )y an IHOO-rpm synchronous motor vhich is loosely coupled to a small iynchronous motor in the sound lead to keep the two motors in )hase during starting and stopping. Automatic compensation for fihn shrinkage is accomplished by the use of a special sprocket. The film fed over a curved gate and around a spring-loaded, pivoted roller to a second sprocket, which is geared to the controUijig sprocket. The pivoted roller and its linkage which effectively measures the pitch of the film between the two sprockets, assumes different positions for various degrees of film shrinkage. The projector is equipped with arms to accommodate 3,000 foot reels. It is contained in a cast aluminum housing which is mounted on top of an electronic scanner unit.
