FILM PROTECTION— TRIPLE CLAW ACTION FOR MOVING FILM A triple claw is used for moving film, engaging three sprocket holes simultaneously. Film with two adjacent torn holes can be successfully used. Ampro patented **kick-back" movement lifts the claws from the sprocket holes before withdrawing, eliminating film wear. Take-up compensator prevents starting strain. The light pressures applied to the film at the aperture gate and sound head greatly in* creases film life. OTHER AMPRO FEATURES The new Amprosound Models "X" and "Y" which list at $275 and 3295 respectively also offer you: Convenient operation with all controls centralized on one illuminated panel; such extreme quietness that a sound-proof case is not required; threading as simple as on a silent projector; and the fastest of automatic rewinding without the slightest damage to film.
