To pull the lm down one picture at a time the intermittent sprocket has to move the
lm ahead by four sprocket teeth (¼ of a complete rotation):
A motor rotates the cam continuously. During each rotation the cam’s pin engages
one of the slots in the starwheel and pulls it ¼ turn. As soon as the pin leaves the
slot, the outer surface of the cam engages the curved surface of the starwheel which
prevents the starwheel from turning until the pin engages the next slot.
During this time the lm is held still in lm gate and is able to project the picture.
