It may easily be detected by running projector without film and watching the screen. If pictures are not steady, appear to jump on the screen, it may be due to improperly adjusted pressure plates in the film gate or to worn teeth in the intermittent movement. In either case, your dealer or factory representative should be consulted. The film gate is by no means the last important part of the projector and it should receive cleaning each time projector is used. A good camel hair brush should always be available for cleaning particles of lint and dust away from the film aperture. At intervals, the film gate should be removed, where possible, and cleaned of any accumulation of emulsion particles that may deposit there. For this task use nothing but a soft wood stick or a cloth saturated in carbon-tethrachloride or nail polish remover. Polish the gate with a soft cloth after cleaning. EXTERIOR: Not the least important is keeping exterior of projector cleaned and polished at all times. If exterior is free of dust, there is little likelihood that dust will accumulate in the moving parts, film gate, or belts to impair its efficiency. Gasoline or carbon-tetrachloride applied with a small brush will remove dust and grease and renew the finish of most projectors. The bright metal trim may also be cleaned and polished with these same solvents, then rubbed to a bright luster with a clean, dry cloth. If worn or broken parts are discovered or there are necessary adjustments beyond your ability to make, most camera stores and photographic dealers are in a position to render repair service or to send your machine to the factory for overhauling. Manufacturers such as Bell & Howell, Eastman Kodak Company and others have lately enlarged their camera and projector repair divisions especially for servicing their customer's equipment to insure its contiuued operation for the duration. If your's is in need of repair, it is advisable to consult the manufacturer now while replacement parts are still available. Qadgeteer'* animation • Continued from Page lii All the operator has to do is sit at his worktable and operate the key with his foot and move the figures or letters to be animated. There's none of the getting up and down, running around the table, etc., to turn lights off and on, or to re-set the camera for the subsequent exposure. No aching back and feet the next morning. Readers interested in making a similar apparatus will do well to review the earlier article already referred to which appears in the October issue. Construction and wiring of the timing device is fully described therein. However, some alterations have since been made, as already stated, and these will now be described. The wiring diagram (Fig. 4) shows the complete electrical hookup necessary to make all the automatic controls work perfectly. Notice that a shunt is put across the clock's low voltage wiring. This eliminates the clock wiring which is used only during time-lapse work. Also the electric counter and telegraph key are connected in the circuit as shown in the diagram. I have encircled with dotted lines the changes which were made in the circuit to convert from time-lapse to animation photography. If desired, the counter may be left on all the time, also the telegraph key could be adjusted to make a continuous circuit when doing time-lapse work. However the electric clock shunt must be removed or disconnected each time.
