00:00So, you're showing your class one of the fine educational films produced by Glotex Industries
00:07on a ViewKing 200 projector.
00:10It's very important to use your projector safely, as any improper use could be dangerous
00:14to you or your students or church group.
00:17This film will likely prove to you how simple it all is, why you'll see, even a woman can
00:23do it.
00:24First, open the canister of film by splitting it like a clamshell.
00:29Be careful, those edges are mighty sharp, and they could cut you.
00:33Ouch, that's smart.
00:36Bandage those fingers immediately.
00:38Next, turn on the projector with the switch on its right side.
00:41Remove the film from the canister and hold it in front of you so that the film hangs
00:45off down the right.
00:47Now you might be thinking to yourself, how does the film get from one side of the projector
00:51to the other?
00:52Is it some sort of magic?
00:54Heavens no, Betty.
00:56Let's leave magic to the philistines.
00:58When you feed the film through the rotating feed sprocket, ViewKing 200's patented automatic
01:03system takes over.
01:04The film passes through the gate area, then between the spring-loaded pressure fixed aperture
01:07plate.
01:08Then the double-pronged pull claw engages the perforation's advancing film perimeter
01:10time.
01:11As the claw moves through the shutters between the film and the lamp, the film fully passes
01:14between the stamp bucket and out the other end.
01:16That's right.
01:17Sort of like the way your digestive system works.
01:20All right, Betty, slide it in there.
01:24Oh yeah, that's it.
01:26However, you must be careful here too, because the edges of the rotating feed sprocket are
01:30also very, very sharp.
01:32And they're rotating.
01:33Trust me, nothing cuts through to the bone quite like a razor-sharp rotating sprocket.
