A New Sound Reader and Frame Viewer
A new machine added to the line of film editing equipment manufactured by this company consists of two parts, the machine head, Model SRV, and the combined amplifier and speaker, Model UR. The machine head (Fig. 5) consists of two curved film slides with a guide roller at each end of each slide. The film slide for the sound-film is equipped with an adjustable rail and adjustable guide rollers so that either standard 35-mm. film or split film may be used. An exciter lamp unit, the same as used on all Moviola sound reproducing equipment, is supported above the small opening in the slide under the sound-track, and a caesium type of photoelectric cell is located in the compartment provided for it beneath this slide. The slide for the picture film has a frame-size aperture illuminated through an opal glass pane by a small electric lamp. A set of viewing lenses, the same as those used in all Moviola film viewing machines, is arranged over this illuminated aperture and can be hinged out of the way when threading the film over the slide and under the guide rollers.
