produce the same result — the pulling down of the film, one frame at a time, in front of the aperture. But do not let these differences worry you. Master the theory of projection and you will master all projectors. You need then be shown only the individual lacing and other characteristics of a new machine to be able to use it proficiently in the shortest possible time. What does it matter how big the sprocket-wheels or how fast the shutter? Learn the functions of these parts and you will know how to deal with them, for by knowing the functions and the results produced by them, you will automatically know the most probable cause of a fault in projection should one develop. Besides explaining the workings and the "innards" of your projector and the essentials of projection technique, the book also discusses and enlarges upon the instructions issued by the makers of the various kinds of equipment. But on no account is the book meant to take the place of those instructions; for the reader may possibly find a statement at variance with the design or operation of his own projector, in spite of the fact that great pains have been taken to make the whole applicable to every known cine projector used or about to be used in Britain, and including also those of foreign design and manufacture.
