Description:
Motion Picture News was the leading film industry trade journal during the 1920s. Founded in 1908 as a counterweight to the dominant Moving Picture World, the News was the voice for the independent, non-Trust, producers. Later Motion Picture News expanded its coverage to the entire industry, supporting the independent exhibitor with objective film reviews, summaries of programs at theatres across the nation, activities of regional exchanges in the cities with regional exchanges, and excellent coverage of the coming of sound and screenings and stage shots at the major New York City theatres. -- David Pierce, 2013

Mechanical Perfection Is Reason for Simpex Popularity 3 The Heart oi the Mechanism Is the Intermittent Movement SIMPLEX INTERMITTENT GENEVA MOVEMENT STAR AND CAM must not be confused with similar movements of other projectors. The principle may be similar but the Simplex method of design and accuracy is what gives results. When you consider that sprocket must be started and stopped 16 times or more each second the strain on the parts employed is apparent. The circumference of the Simplex Intermittent Sprocket travels y$ of an inch in l/64th of a second, or at the rate of 2880 feet per minute. This gives some idea of what it means to bring it to an instant stop. In the manufacture of the Simplex Intermittent Movement the finest steel is used and the greatest accuracy to the 1/1 0,000th of an inch is required. The Star and Sprocket are tested under a magnifying glass for mechanical accuracy and are tested under operating conditions for results on the screen. The entire intermittent case can be removed from the machine in 30 seconds by taking out 2 screws and loosening 2 others. It can be replaced as quickly.
