Bolex S321 16mm projector at the Curzon Clevedon.mov

A superb example of 1960's Swiss engineering, the machine is running a silent film @ 18fps, confirmed by the ingenious strobe which you can see at the end of the video. This was one of many working projectors at an open day where many rare projectors were in action. The projectionist featured is Colin Walkington.

What a pity! You laced up wrong at three points. Plus you have one of the non-changed ones of this projector, i. e. the magnetic sound heads are falsely spaced from the image aperture. Paillard corrected the mistake when one shipped the detachable sound part to them. Since only very few people know about the drawbacks of the S series I am noting this here. To make it complete, the stroboscope does not indicate 18 f. p. s. but 18,181818 when appearing stationary.
