Automatic threading
The film automatically threads itself through to the take-up reel core. An
ingenious system automatically sets the correct the picture/sound separation
(18 frames with Super-8 and Single-8, 56 frames with standard-8) A few points
are however important for perfect operation of the automatic threading system:
Tho sprocket guards must be closed, all splices must be perfect and the film
should have a leader about 20 inches (50 cm) long. The end of this leader should
be slightly curved inwards (clockwise as seen from the reel side of the
projector), cleanly trimmed and - especially important - Free from creases. Use
the film trimmer supplied. Fully depress the threading key, insert the film only
with the main switch set to threading'
Silent and Sound projection
1Connecting the projector to the mains supply. This immediately starts
pro-heating the lamp to ensure maximum operating life.
2Erect the reel arms and mount the reels The full reel goes on the front
arm, the empty one on the rear arm. When you look towards the screen
from behind the projector, the film perforations must be an the right –i.e.
towards you as you thread the film from the side
3When using a 600 foot (10 metre) reel - for instance the EUMIG universal
AS 21 reel - raise the catch and swing the reel arm fully upwards.

"forward projection".

threading key depressed until the film runs onto the take-up reel

Important: When operating the projector, do not obstruct the air stream
emerging from the ventilation slots.
