Thank you for posting this. You've just thrown me back 20 years in time, when I was a young film projectionist in a cinema. The projector we had used this mechanism to flash the images on the celluloid at 24fps instead of one continuous stream of light.
And, I just realised I'm not so young anymore...
- johnpowell 13y agoI was also a projectionist and I had to rebuild intermittent movements a few times when we couldn't get a new one fast enough. I was the head projectionist for three years and we only lost one at a eight screen theater. But the theater across town that was owed by the same chain went through a few a month. But I also made sure the projector-head actually had oil in them and the other theater didn't seem to care.
