For 35 years, Victor Projectors ha\e had three Safety Film Trips (one for each film loop) as exclusive components of the film transport mechanism. These Safety Film Trips spot film trouble before it happens and stop the projector instantly and automatically. Saves thousands of dollars in film damage annually. Kalart/Victor's large diameter Single Drive Sprocket moves film in and out of the projector smoothly and at one constant speed ... no chance for film "pile up.'" These features give even beginning projectionists full confidence, allow them to concentrate on putting on a good show, with no interruptions. And a good show it will be with a clearer, brighter picture and brilliant sound ... a combination that increases learning power.
