Yea, only they used bit different control circuitry with variable auto-transformer and 3ph motor coupled via belt gear to film spool

Hi, is it optical or digital? I could not see if there was a digital reader in the chain. Also, the cinema processor is a Dolby or Ultra Stereo (or ...)?

Bauer used to market a projector in the late 70's/early 80's that employed a similar principal, only the two 5000' spools were mounted adjacent to one another on the alcing side of the mech.

In the late 70's/early 80's, Bauer actually manufactured a 35mm projector based on a similar idea. The difference was that both spools were mounted side by side on the lacing side of the mech.
