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 133 14, Baird Speed Control Operates Poorly (a) — In this case, the friction wheel is either too tight against the disc or it is too loose. Adjust it to meet the existing condition. (b) — The pulley belt may be slipping. Examine it and tighten or apply non-slip dressing. 15, Intermittent Wears Excessively ( a ) — This is often due to the use of a graphite lubricant, of cheap, dirty, and poor oils, and of oils which are either too light or too heavy. Failure to change the oil often enough will also cause this. (b) — Friction is caused by setting up the mechanism too tightly, for the mechanism should work easily but without much play. 16, Lower Loop Constantly Lost as Splices Come Through (a) — Dirty sprockets will cause this. Clean them and remove all that have worn teeth. (b) — One side of the sprocket teeth is more worn than the other, therefore it is necessary to replace the sprocket. (c) — Uneven sprocket alignment will also cause this. Correct the alignment. (d) — Bad film splices are a constant source of this trouble.
