Greatest 
film 
protection 
because...
Films, 
especially 
originals, 
are  valuable
and 
often 
irreplaceable 
documents.  With
this in 
mind. 
Eolcr 
enginaers 
have  de-
veloped 
numerous 
foltures 
designed 
to
greatly 
lengthen 
the 
life 
of 
your 
film.
Here 
are some 
of thes€ 
featu?es :
Tension 
on 
film 
remains 
constant 
throughout
projection 
- 
in 
lorward, 
reverse 
and rewind 
-
regardless 
of load 
on lake-uo 
reel.
Sprockets 
and 
guide 
rollers 
touch 
neither frame
nor 
sound track.
Frame 
gate 
and 
pressure 
plate 
are highly 
polished
and 
precisely 
positioned. 
Easy to 
clean.
Claw 
mechanism 
is 
precision 
designed to 
protect
film 
perforation.
Optical 
sound 
drum is 
made from 
anti:magnetic
stainless 
steel, machined 
with 
extreme accuracv
and 
polished 
to a 
super-finish.
Film, 
during 
run 
through 
projector, 
follows mini-
mum 
of curves 
and loops,
Moderate 
rewind 
speed 
protects 
film 
against
damage 
due 
to excessive 
friction.
The claw  is slighlly raised before it leaves 
the 
perforation
to  make sure that it 
does not scratch against the edge of
the oerforations.
As an example every 
projector 
has 
to 
pass 
the
lollowing test : a heavily spliced test f 
ilm 
is 
passed
repeatedly 
through 
the 
projector, 
both forward
and 
reverse, the film, on thorough inspection,
should not show the slightest sign of damage.
otherwise the 
projector 
will not be admitted 
for
shipment.
One  basic 
principle 
at 
Paillard-Bolex  is
safety combined with 
precision.
