Eumig Automatic P8 - Threading by hand

Threading by hand
The P B AUTOMATIC can olso be fhreaded by hand. This may be necessary when it is desired to project a piece
of film somewhere in the middle of the spool. For this purpose, first unscrew the automatic threader [see Fig. 2,
Page d, for position of this serew), next unwind a sufficient length of film, open the gate by turning lever A down-
wards (see Fig. 13), thread the film and close the gate by moving the lever back, Do not put fhe gate-opening lever
completely over to the right — this would switch on the rewind mechanism.
After the loop has been shaped by following fhe line indicated on the side of He projector, the film is led past
the feed sprocket. Pull gently as indicated in Fig. 14, and the perforations will be engaged by the teeth of ihe
feed sprocket, Lead the film past the take-up sprodket in he same woy (see Fig, 15), Then lead the film under the
guide rolls and fix to the spool on the take-up arm — if it is the beginning of the film which is being fhreaded.
At the rear of the proiector is the knob tor manual operation of the proiectar mechanism. (Fig. 20, Page 14). This
feature enables you to ensure before showing your film te an audience that fhe claw is transporting the film
correctly.
