WE CALL IT THE BRAIN!

Looks like you've got a Strong projector being fed by Alpha platters. Do the platters really spin so fast that you need to put film stabilizers on the platter? We've never had a film fly off of an Alpha system in the 17 years I've been in the booth. Just wondering. Nice post.

I'm a projectionist too and was trained how to build prints, thread machines, break down prints and trouble shoot. I may not know all the names of the parts, but I do my job well and movies start on time. During training, we learn the nicknames, ring, brain, etc. Every industry has nicknames for its equipment. I don't think knowing the technical names for everything makes you more qualified to work up there than not.

we simply call the ring the core, and the center feed the brain.

It is called a Center Feed Control Assembly. If you don't know that the things in a projector are for you have no business up there.

Well man, blame the company, not me. I just did as I was told. I learned how to thread and build film, and how to take care of it all... it's not such a big deal that I don't know every part of the projector.

It's a lot of fun. Building film is the best though.
