Claw:
The claw pin is responsible for dragging/pulling each frame down in front of the gate in combination
with the sprocket wheel.
Registration pin:
The registration pin locks each frame inside the gate vertically/horizontally to ensure stability while the
film is exposing. When the pin retracts after exposing of the film, the shutter closes simultaneously
while the claw pulls another frame down into the gate after which the registration pin will re-engage
and the shutter opens for exposing.
Pressure plate:
The pressure plate stabilizes the film inside the gate and eliminates weave, which is a typical super8
phenomena whereby the film is gliding through the gate and blur is seen shifting across the image or
one-half of the image being sharper than the other.
