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.

PROJECTOR 129 4. Film Buckles (a) — This may be due to extreme wear of the aperture plate. If it is worn down or uneven, replace it. (b) — Incorrect tension will also cause this trouble. The tension should be examined and adjusted. (c) — The corners of loose patches may be catching or binding. All splices must be welded right out to each edge, the sprocket holes must be matched carefully. No free edges should be found on the film, especially that edge which comes in contact with the tension shoes while passing through the projector. 5. Film Climbs Sprocket (a) — The sprocket idler may be badly adjusted, having more pressure on one side than on the other. (b) — Dirt, oil, film cement, and emulsion are deposited on the teeth or other parts of the sprocket assembly. These parts should be cleaned. (c) — The replaced sprockets are not truly lined-up. Be sure the alignment with all the parts in the film line of travel are exactly in line with one another.
