vfuality Changeover Aids By Strong Made by a Projectionist for Projectionists! Reel-End Signal Does not touch the film or reel. Is strictly mechanical and requires no batteries, no transformers, no governors, and no pre-setting by the projectionist. Is not dependent upon any change in the normal smooth operation of the projector. Is installed within 5 minutes, requiring no drilling. Once installed, forget it — as was conclusively demonstrated by 1200 tests under practical conditions in various projection rooms. About 75 seconds before the end of the reel the bell begins to ring, continuing distinctly for 15 seconds, after which period of time it ceases. The duration of the bell-signal can be increased or decreased about 15 seconds by simply moving the arm to either the left or the right. MOVE ARM TO LEFT TO LENGTHEN ALARM PERIOD.
