128 LIVING PICTURES. C3. Film jnoved by gi^ipping-blocks, etc. Pins and perforations are entirely done away with by the arrangement shown in Fig. 142. Two blocks, M^, may be driven forward to grip the edges of the film against a plate on the other side. The gripping-blocks and plate then sink together, carry- ing the film with them. Flexible guards, M^, prevent the film buckling, and when the pressure of the grippers ceases a brake-pad, O, comes into action and clamps the film while the grippers rise. Fig. 141. Di. Film intermittently struck by revolving eccentric. The original so- called dog - motion invented by Demeny was shown in Fig. 82, and Jenkins' applica- tion of the same is described in connec- tion with Fig. 114. Only one modification needs attention here, and that is a means for varying the extent of stroke. The general principles of all dog-motions are well exemplified in Fig. 143. The film is steadied in front of the aperture by small pressure-rollers and plush pads. The two lower rollers are Fig. J42.
