You Must Show This To Your Operator Since Technicolor film can be scratched on either side, the operator must be sure that ALL projector rollers, including upper and lower maga¬ zine rollers, turn freely and that nothing rubs against either side of the film. You are particularly warned against the lower oil drip pan, sometimes pro¬ vided as a special fitting on Simplex Machines, which cups around the crank shaft. If this pan is not properly installed it will damage ordinary film and will, of course be especially harmful to film coated on both sides. If it is found to be rubbing against the film it must be removed. CENTERING FILM IN APERTURE: In order that the blank spots at the lower edges of each frame of Technicolor film shall not show on the screen it is necessary that the film be accurately centered in the projector aperture. The adjustment is made by the lateral guide rollers at the top of the aperture. If the spot shows on the right ad¬ just the rollers to the left until the spot disappears and vice- versa. THREADING: Technicolor film has emulsion, or pictures, on both sides. It is shipped from the factory with an ordinary single coated leader on both ends, which will serve to indicate which side should go towards the light in the projector, that is to say, if the reel is judged by the leader, it will thread correctly . If the leaders become detached correct threading can be deter¬ mined in the following manner: Hold the film so the pictures appear right side up and with the red mark at the side of the picture at your left. The side corresponding to the emulsion side in ordinary film will now be turned towards you. SPLICING: In splicing the film, scrape one end to show red, and the other end to show green, and cement the scraped sides together. SPEED IN PROJECTION In projecting film done in natural colors, the best results are obtained by maintaining an average speed of 87^4 feet per minute. LIGHTING: The beautiful screen results obtainable with this color film can be seriously marred by using too little or too much light on the screen. The operator should investigate this point for himself and determine the best results. The Exact Length of “THE BLACK PIRATE” is 8490 Feet “Thrilling, exquisitely photographed”— n. y. News
