The single-switch mechanism enables a projectionist to run off as nmch film as necessary in checking for proper focus, loop, sound volume— and quickly reverse the film to starting position. Time previously required for re-threading the projector is saved and film life prolonged with elimination of extra handling. Sections of the film can be rerun as needed for review purposes. Single-switch reversing is accomplished with a five-position rotary switch which avoids film damage by switching from forward to reverse projection without stopping the motor and prevents unintentional reverse show ings. Turned clock-wise, the switch starts the blower, begins film travel and turns on the lamp. A counterwise turn shuts off the lamp, stops film travel and starts the film in reverse. Three Pageants now are equipped with the forward-reverse switch. These include the .\V-0T4 ( 7-watt. 8-inch speaker, single case I . priced at S459: the AV-154 1 15-watt. 12inch speaker. 2 cases) . at .S.545: and the AV-154-S ll.5-watt. 8 inch speaker, single case I . at .?469.
