REWINDING.—After you have completed
your showing and all the film is on the takeup
reel, turn the motor-lamp switch to the OFF
position. The film should be rewound onto the
front reel and made ready for showing again.
NOTE: The lamp should have been turned off
when the trailer started through the machine to
prevent blinding the audience by the white
screen and to allow the lamp to cool a bit before
the motor and fan are stopped.
Listed below are the five steps for rewinding
most projectors. With the motor-lamp switch in
the OFF position, do the following:
(1) Support the full reel with your left hand
and lift up slightly. Press the takeup reel arm
release button and swing the reel arm to the
vertical REWIND position.
(2) Attach the end of the film to the under-
side of the front reel. Rotate the front reel
counterclockwise by hand for two turns to
secure the end of the film to the reel.
(3) Move the appropriate switch to the
REVERSE or REWIND position, and the film
will begin to rewind.
(4) Press and momentarily hold down the
REWIND button to speed up the rewind proc-
ess.
(5) Turn the switch to OFF as soon as the
film is fully rewound. The film is then ready for
storage or for a second showing.
In most of the newer models, the film is
rewound directly from the takeup reel to the
supply reel. This may be brought about by
