Editor twin showing sound side threaded, footage counters, motor and lamp controls, screen and loudspeaker frames. engineered to equal the performance of similar units in a studio equipment group. Film scratches, abrasions and perforation deformation are minimized by the wide use of fluoroethylene plastic in rollers and shoes, combined with a dependable, nonintermittent system of picture projection. A welded metal case houses all drive components and electronic equipment and encloses the picture-projection path. Operating controls are grouped on the front of the case which contains a rear-vision screen, loudspeaker and footage counters. The case sides serve as mounting walls for separate work-print and sound-track film transports complete with torquemotor driven reel spindles and cast assemblies for the alignment of sprockets, pad rollers, photographic and magnetic sound-scanning units and the pictureprojection and imaging optical systems. Coupling knobs on each side select either or both transports, with permanently linked footage counters for record purposes. In addition, a compact assembly on the sound side facilitates aural magnetic-track editing. Dynamic Scanning Magnetic tracks are normally reproduced or scanned by running film at a uniform speed past a stationary magnetic head in contact with the magnetic' coating. Track scanning is also feasible if the film is held stationary and the head moved while maintaining contact with the coating. This method 326 September 1953 Journal of the SMPTE Vol. 61
