Century Announces JJ-2 Model to Project 70/35mm fill ^ NEW YORK— Century Projector Corp. has announced a new American-made universal projector for projection of 70 and 35 mm films. The new projector is called the Century JJ-2. and according to distribution vice president Frank E. Cahill Jr.. is unique in design with film traps and film gates with direct coupling to the mechanism and optical sound reproducer with a Poly "V" motor drive belt to the projector main drive shaft. Both the film trap and gate can be easily removed for changing, inspection and cleaning without disturbing any other units. The Century designed water-cell and aperture plate are positioned in the projector so the film is as close to the aperture plate as desired for sharper focus all around the edges. It is also possible to "set" the film gate to provide a soft edge aperture. With these new film traps and film gates it is possible to run both 70mm and 35mm films with ever-so-lisht ims tensions for better overall in-focus picture. Film tensions can be easily adjusted and set to the desired positions for optimum screen results. A less complicated method has been engineered into the Century JJ-2 for changing from the standard 24 frames per second to 30 frame speed. Conversion kits are available to adapt 3-D Sync projection if and when needed. Century's features are incorporated in Century JJ-2 models such as: double rear shutters; water-cells; separate 70/35mm Ampex magnetic clusters; less gears and other Century refinements. iP New Theatre Opens In New York Walter Reade-Sterling.
