How to Run a Non-Stop Show On One Projector
by T. ROBERT BASSETT
Headmaster, The Columbus Boychoir School, Princeton, New Jersey
EVEN THOUGH you have only one movie projector, you can still run two or more reels without interrupting the performance to change them. All you need is a splicer and a little practice. Here's how:
(1) Set up the splicer in tandem fashion behind the projector.
(2) Place reel No. 1 on the rewind spindle nearest the projector, carry the leader up and over an empty reel on the feed arm, and thread as usual. (If necessary, rig up some sort of support above the rear of the machine to prevent the film from rubbing on the case or crossing too close to the hot lamp.)
(3) Start the first reel. While it is running, place the second reel on the other spindle of the splicer, remove the leader, and ready the end edge for splicing.
(4) When there remain about two or three minutes of film on the first reel, turn the handle on the spindle arm and run the film onto the floor until you reach the end of the reel. Be careful as you approach the end not to let the film drop free and thus get twisted. Keeping the film in position, remove the trailer and splice the end of reel No. 1 to the beginning of reel No. 2, reinforcing the connection with a bit of Scotch tape, since the cement may not harden fast enough to hold the splice unassisted.
(5) Meanwhile, the film has been coming up off the floor from under the pile and you must keep an eye on it to catch any kinks that might form and carry a bunch of film toward the projector. This won't happen often and then only when the film is in poor condition. A simple shaking motionwill loosen the film.
(6) With the splice completed, remove the now empty No. 1 reel from the left-hand spindle and shift reel No. 2 to its place, winding back upon it the film from the floor.
(7) Now move to your usual station at the right of the projector and watch for the splice to come through the machine. The signal dots at the upper right corner of the picture on the screen will help you spot the splice. When it reaches the take-up reel, hold the latter still and separate the splice, meanwhile letting the film run on the floor. When you break the splice, fasten the tip of the film to the edge of the table with Scotch tape to free your hands for removing reel No. 1 from the take-up arm and replacing it with an empty reel.
(8) Attach the film to the take-up reel and let the film slip through your fingers until it has all come up from the floor and is tight again in the machine.
(9) Now prepare reel No. 3 for splicing to the end of reel No. 2.
Here's how to set it up
