An experienced operator and suitable 16mm. film pro- jector are available locally. To prevent irrepairable film damage, sound films must be projected only on a sound projector. Silent films may be used on either a silent or sound machine; in the latter case, proper adjust- ment of sound machine speed is necessary. 2. Films are booked for a specific date or dates and are not retained longer without permission. Apply for res- ervations as far in advance as possible. 3. Return postage is paid by the local borrowing organiza- tion. Mail films promptly to the department after the scheduled showing. DO NOT REWIND. 4. Film showing report card is filled out and returned to the department. Report cards are enclosed with each film shipment. They may be returned conveniently with the film. HELPFUL HINTS TO GOOD PROJECTION Your objectives in planning for a smooth film showing should be a clear, brilliant screen image and minimum noise and con- fusion during the screening. KEEP THESE IN MIND Use a beaded screen, if available. A large image is easier for your audience to see than a small one. Prevent stray light from hitting screen. Place projector on a firm stand or table behind your audience and at approximately the same level as the screen. Clean both exposed surfaces of your projector lens. Use lens tissue or soft cotton cloth. Clean film gate of dust and lint Arrange film reels conveniently in order of showing. Thread projector with film and check loops by running on leader a second or two. 1 Turn off room lights and start projection simultaneously. Check for sharp focus on first title. If sound film, check volume and tone quality promptly. Watch for end of film. Turn off projector lamp—or place hand in front of lens—before the tail runs completely through the film gate. Thread succeeding reels by pilot light.
