76 CINEMATOGRAPHIC ANNUAL Fig. 22 Mitchell Automatic Belt Tension Equalizer. This is an outgrowth of sound pictures, which simultaneously demanded the use of 1000 ft. rolls of Him, and precluded the use of the spring-belt of former days. In this case a leather belt is used, the springtension pulley arrangement automatically providing the correct tension as the diameter of the roll of exposed film in the magazine increases. Fig. 23 Bell H Howell Belt Tension Equalizer. A — Magazine Pulley. B — Endless Fabric Belt. C — Belt Tension Equalizing Spring. This tension equalizer can be used for magazines of either 1000 ft. or 400 ft. capacity. The belt is threaded differently oyer the pulleys of the equalizer when using 4 00 ft. magazines, in order that the slack in the belt may be completely compensated for.
