HELPFUL HINTS TO GOOD PROJECTIONYour objectives in planning for a smooth film showing should
be a clear, brilliant screen image and minimum noise and con-fusion during the screening.
KEEP THESE IN MINDUse a beaded screen, if available. A large image is easier for
your audience to see than a small one.Prevent stray light from hitting screen.Place projector on a firm stand or table behind your audience
and at approximately the same level as the screen.Clean both exposed surfaces of your projector lens. Use lens
tissue or soft cotton cloth.Clean film gate of dust and lint.Arrange film reels conveniently in order of showing.Thread projector with film and check loops by running on
leader a second or two.
