Special features 

25  Reverse  motion.  At  any  time  during  a  presentation  the  film  may  be  reversed  by  turning  the 
switch anticlockwise to one of the two "reverse" positions. It you do not wish the audience to see 
the action backwards, but just to repeat a scene, use the arrowed position of the bar; if, however, 
backward action is a part of your presentation, use the position with the lamp symbol. (In reverse, 
the lamp is always run at the reduced "economy" voltage and the sound is automatically cut off.) 

26  Still  pictures. 

The  action  of  the  film can  be  "frozen"  at  any  time,  to  allow  detailed  study  of  a 

single  frame,  by  moving  the  run/still/lever  26a  to  the  rear.  Automatically,  the  light  reaching  the 
film is reduced to prevent overheating of the stationary frame. if you have been projecting at the 
"economy  “setting  of  the  lamp  switch,  you  can  increase  the  brightness  of  a  still  picture  by 
advancing  the  switch  bar  to  the  full  brightness  setting.  It  is  advisable  to  readjust  focus  when 
showing stills. To revert to normal projection, see Stage 28.

 

27 Animation, 

This Bell & Howell invention allows a succession of still pictures to be shown, and 

examined frame by frame, at your own choice of speed. Set the run/still/lever 26a to the rear for 
still projection as described in Stage 26. To change from one stationary frame to the next, tap the 
animation lever 27a. If, however, you wish to move on for a few frames before showing another 
Still picture press 27a down until the next frame to be examined/s on the screen, and then release 
it. 

28 

After showing a still or using animation, there is no need to switch the lamp off before reverting 

to normal running. Just move the run/still/ever forward to the running position and then readjust 
the  focus  setting.  Your  presentation  will  be  more  polished  if  you  turn  the  volume  control  to  "0" 
before normal projection is resumed and then advance it again to fade in the sound after the film 
has started to move. 

After the show 

29 At the end of the presentation, leave the main power switch at "on" for about a minute so that 
the  fan  has  time  to  cool  the  lamp.  While  this  is  being  done,  fold  the  locks  on  the  two  spool 
spindles to their angled positions. Press the release buttons of the front (29a) and rear (29b) spool 
arms and lower the arms as far as they will go. Turn the tilt control fully to the left. If you have 
been using an external loudspeaker or separate amplifier, disconnect the plug from the socket at 
the back of the projector. 

30 Press the main power switch to "off" and disconnect the power lead from the mains supply. 
Coil the lead on its bobbin in such a way that the moulded power plug is not strained. 

31  Lower  the  side  cover  so  that  the  two  "ears"  310  enter  the  recesses  31  bin  the  base  of  the 
projector and then push it closed at the top until the two clips can be fastened.
