Lightweight Recorders for 35- and 16-mm Film

M. E. Collins

Recorders have been designed to provide the motion picture industry with improved lightweight recording machines capable of recording any of the standard types of negative or direct positive sound tracks. Separate recorders have been designed for use with 35- and 16-mm film, each recorder being designed for optimum performance with the film for which it was designed. Chief features of the recorders are improved performance, dependable operation, compactness, minimum weight, and accessibility for servicing, combined with attractive styling. The recorders have been designed so that the film may be driven from left to right or from right to left through the head assembly with equal stability. An automatic film take-up mechanism of the self-reversing type is provided.
