If the picture on the screen is extremely unsteady, it is probably caused
by the loss of either the upper or lower loop. This will sometimes
happen if some of the film perforations are broken, If this should occur,
stop the mechanism at once by pushing the
black
button of the switch

, Fig, 9. Turn the knob

, Fig. 1, until the pull-down claws are
withdrawn from the gate. Adjust the sizes of the upper and lower loops
21
and
24
, Fig. 8, page 14 by sliding the film up or down. Follow the
guide lines on the Kodascope as shown in Fig. 8, page 14. If there are
broken perforations, they should be noted and the film repaired when it
is rewound. The section of film that contains the broken perforations
must be removed and the ends spliced together. See directions included
with the splicing outfit.
Rewinding
After the film has been projected it is necessary to rewind it so that
when it is shown again it will be in the right order, and the back or shiny
side will be towards the center of the reel.
Duplicate films (see page 26) are now made so that the dull side must be towards
the center of the supply reel.
Attach the film to the empty reel by pressing the end of the film against
the core of the reel. Give the reel a few turns by hand, in the direction
indicated by the arrow in Fig. 11, to make sure the end is securely
attached. If there are no spring fingers on the flanges of the empty reel,
it will be necessary to thread the end of the film into the slot in the core
of the reel.
