Read Before You Show Sound Films Efficient projection of sound pictures depends upon the careful handling of sound film. An excessive amount of dust and oil on the film may cause a certain amount of "fry" in the sound. Scratches of certain types on the sound track may distort the sound. Scratches on the picture portion of the sound track may distort the sound. Scratches on the film detract from its effectiveness. Keep your projector very clean. Before each day's showing, and between showings when relatively new prints are used, clean all projector and sound parts with which the film comes in direct contact. Don't assume the film channels are clean — check them every day. Follow exactly the instruction manual supplied with your projector. If film is loose on the reel, do not tighten by pulling the end. Instead, TAKE TIME TO REWIND PROPERLY. If film breaks, stop the machine and rethread completely. Fasten the broken ends together at the take-up reel with a small paper clip. When starting the machine again, watch the take-up reel for a turn or two so as to be sure the film is winding properly. When threading your machine, be sure ample loops have been made. However, DO NOT HAVE LOOPS SO LARGE THAT THE FILM SLAPS ANY PART OF THE MACHINE OR CASE. DO NOT attempt to splice sound film unless you are to immediately show it again. In case of damage, return all broken pieces to the library so that the film can be repaired with as little loss as possible. No charge is made for ordinary wear and tear or simple breaks in the film, but FILM DAMAGE WHICH REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF FOOTAGE WILL BE CHARGED TO THE USER CAUSING THE DAMAGE.
