Superb 
image 
quality 
because...
Paillard 
engineers 
have 
found 
ingenious
solutions 
to the 
four 
crucial 
problems 
that
face 
every 
designer 
of 
proiectors 
; 
picture
brightness, 
definition, 
steadiness 
of image
and 
freedom 
from 
fticker.
The 
high 
picture 
brightness, 
together 
with
an 
even 
distribution 
of the light 
on the 
screen,
was 
achieved 
by creating 
one 
of 
the 
finest 
optical-
mechanical 
systems 
to be found 
in 
projectors.
Its 
components 
are :
Spherical 
reflector.
Condenser 
system 
consisting 
of three 
coated
lenses.
Projector 
lens 
of high 
aperture.
Extremely 
rapid 
claw 
pull-down, 
reducing 
the
moving 
time 
of the 
film.
Large 
diameter 
shutter, resulting 
in narrow 
shutter
blades 
and 
extremely 
short 
shutter 
time.
Definition, 
sharp and 
brilliant 
pictures 
are, of
course, Iargely 
the responsibility 
of the lens.
Paillard-Bolex projection 
lenses 
are fast 
and f ully
corrected. 
They 
carry 
the trade-mark,,Hi-Fi"
exclusively 
throughout 
the world 
and 
provide
clear 
pictures 
ffom 
corner 
to 
corner with 
maximum
contrast 
and faithful 
colour reproduction. 
(*)
Mechanical 
factors 
also 
contribute 
to the 
qualitv
of the 
projected 
image, 
which is 
enhanced 
by the
simple 
original 
design 
of the film 
guide 
and the
precision 
with 
which 
film 
gate 
and 
aperture 
arb
machined 
and 
mounted. 
The film, 
therefore, 
can-
not 
cutl or 
warp.
Steadiness 
of  image, 
both vertical 
and 
hori-
zontal, is 
the 
result 
of :
High 
precision 
film 
guide 
system 
(permanently
adjusted 
)
Claw mechanism 
machined 
to 
microscooic 
toler-
ances 
and 
permanently 
lubricated. 
Wear 
and tear
to 
the 
mechanism 
is negligible.
d) Flicker 
is eliminated 
with 
the built-in 
variable
shutter, which  by the 
touch 
of a button 
can 
be
set for two 
or three blade 
positions, 
according 
to
the 
power 
of the lamp, 
projection 
rate, 
image 
size,
quality 
of screen and condition 
of the 
film.
Shutter 
adjustment 
can 
be made  regardless 
of
whether 
projector 
is 
running 
or not.
