We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

LIGHT CONDITIONS 117 18. Light Streaky With Incandescent Lamp Projection (a) — The lamp may have a sagging, warped filament. Keplace the old lamp and discard it if the new lamp corrects this condition. Otherwise, inspect the lenses to see whether there is any dirt, oil, or grease upon them. 19. Shadow Appears Near Top, Bottom, or Side of Screen (a) — If a faint shadow is evident it is probably due to an incorrect adjustment of the gate on the projector. This trouble should be tested on a clear screen (no film running), and while the shadow is visible, lift the gate. If the shadow disappears, readjust the gate and center it. 20. Unsteady Picture (a) — There may be dirt on the sprocket of the intermittent. This should be examined and cleaned. (b) — This trouble may be due to vibration, either of the projector or of the floor. (c) — It can also be caused by worn, loose, or vibrating parts in the intermittent or in the aperture assembly.
