Loading the Magazine into the Projector
Pull out the autochange lever (2) as far as it will go.
Slide the magazine into the aperture at the back of the projector,
making sure that it is flat with the platform and not tilted. The magazine
will slide freely until the figure "24" is just inside the aperture. With
gentle pressure, push the magazine so that it clicks into position with
the figure "25" just inside the aperture. In this position, when the
projector is switched on, figure " 1 " is illuminated and will be visible
through the inspection window (3).
Pushing the autochange lever in brings the slide into the projection
position. Pulling the lever out returns the slide to the magazine,
advances the magazine to the next position, and brings a capping blade
into position to prevent any light from falling on the screen. After
you have shown all the slides, remove the magazine from the front of
the projector.
The Sportsview Projector has been designed so that, when the
autochange lever is pulled out as far as it will go, the magazine may be
moved to any position by hand. By observing the numbers through
the inspection window while adjusting the magazine, it is possible
to show any slide at will.
Always operate the autochange lever smoothly and evenly. Violent
or jerky movements will prevent the slides from changing properly
and cause jamming.
How to focus the Lens
Set the fine-focus control wheel (4) to a central position, so that it is
possible to make adjustment in either direction.
Now, with the first slide in the projection position, rotate the lens (5)
until the image is sharply focused on the screen.
During a performance, it may be found that slides of differing
thickness will need refocusing slightly. The fine-focus control enables
this to be carried out quickly and easily.
Always position the lens by screwing it in and out. Never push or
pull it into position.
