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.
