Super8 Sound Editing
Magnetic Head Reader Attachments
These Moviola attachments are mounted directly on any gang
of a Super 8 synchronizer. The magnetic head flips down to
ride on the fullcoat and read the sound track. Equipped with
a miniphone plug that can be plugged into any squawk box
or the Super8 Sound Recorder to amplify the magnetic head
signal.

Sync Block Motorization
The Super8 Sound Motorization is the same as that used on
the Super8 Sound Editing Benches. An integral DC electric
clutch allows the foot pedal to
both
start the motor and con-
nect the motor to the sync block. A timing belt system and
expensive AC synchronous motor combine to produce the
best sound fidelity achievable with a sync block. We suggest
that a predrilled formica bench top be purchased with the
motorization to simplify locating the editing components.
Your sync block must have a 2-inch extension of the 1/2
inch diameter main shaft. The motorization includes motor,
clutch assembly, footpedal, timing belt, and pulley for attach-
ment to sync block shaft extension. A separate pulley for
conversion to 18fps operation is available. Owners of Super8
Sound Economy Editing Bench may simply add this motor-
ization to their predrilled bench.

Rewinds
The Moviola rewinds we supply are regular 16mm rewinds
with 5/16" shafts (round with a slot). Shafts are long enough
to handle 4 Super 8 reels. With Differential Rewind Adapters
no spacers or clamps are necessary. Adjustable friction drags
are available, and we strongly recommend their purchase.

Super8 Sound Third-Hand Rewinds
Super8 Sound's novel one-way rewinds are available as
separate components. The left rewind turns only clockwise,
and the right rewind only counterclockwise. The Third
Hand feature can be easily switched on or off, so the re-
winds can be used normally. Modified Moviola rewinds.

Super8 Sound Differential Rewind Adapters
These are the main devices that give our 2-gang vertical edit-
ing set-up the operating convenience of a horizontal editing
table. When one film strand (picture or sound) is released
from the synchronizer, the Differential will apply all the re-
wind torque to that one strand. The other strand must be
stopped by holding back with one hand or locking the syn-
chronizer. This allows rapid traverse of one strand, forward or
backward, at speeds several times sound speed. This was pre-
viously possible only on a horizontal editing table, where each
strand is separately motorized.
The Differentials also pull both strands evenly when film on
one reel is larger than the other, eliminating the need for
holes in the bench and bins under the table. They fit on stan-
dard 16mm (5/16") rewind shafts and serve to adapt the
narrow shaft to the half-inch Super 8 reel hubs.
