We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Left, the Eastman 1 6mm. Projec¬ tor, Model 25, brings 16mm. pro¬ jection to the professional level. Shown here, adapted for arc illu¬ mination, permanently installed alongside 55mm. equipment. Below, working parts of the film move¬ ment mechanism are in constant view of the operator . . . readily accessible for threading and cleaning. Motion Picture Film Department, Eastman Kodak Company, Rochester 4, N. Y. For Professional Quality Sound Projection from 16mm. Film The Eastman 16mm. Projector, Model 25 This projection instrument — built to a new design concept — eliminates the three major obstacles to theatrical qual¬ ity 16mm. sound projection . . . exces¬ sive wear and high maintenance cost; low signal-to-noise ratio; and excessive flutter. A major cause of excessive wear and poor quality sound is the constant trans¬ fer of shock forces generated in the film pulldown mechanism to other parts of the system. In the Eastman 16mm. Pro¬ jector, Model 2 5, the intermittent (film advance mechanism) is completely iso¬ lated and independently driven by its own 1440 r.p.m. synchronous motor. Thus, shock forces are sealed off from the rest of the instrument. The sprocketshutter system is driven by its own 1800 r.p.m. synchronous motor. Exact phas¬ ing between the two systems is accom¬ plished by specially designed synchro¬ mesh gears. In addition, the take-up spindle, rewind spindle, and blower are driven by separate motors. A highly corrected microscope ob¬ jective, adjustable for optimum sound quality from any type of 16mm. sound film, permits reproduction of variable area or variable density 16mm. sound tracks at extremely low distortion and a maximum signal-to-noise ratio. To get the best out of any 16mm. sound film, project it on an Eastman 16mm. Projector, Model 2 5.
