the device is called an "inching knob"
may have identified one on a eumig mark S 807D - hope so, anyway - and the inching knob seems to be at the back of these projectors

hi,
does anybody know which projectors have single frame capability, please - bit like the single framer on some cameras (for animation, etc)
if this device exists for projectors, i would imagine it could be found on the later models, after 1970?
thanks

I recall that now that you wrote it.
Was the inching knob also able to have a belt attached so one could do double system sound?

For example, the first thing i know is wrong on the Chinon, is when the projector is already chewing up film leader around the film-feed path sprocket: with speed and luck, i can stop and often reverse the mechanism, and minimalise the damageWas the inching knob also able to have a belt attached so one could do double system sound?
will update on the inching knob, by and by

hi,
yes, the eumig S807 D has the 'inching knob' feature at the rear of the projector; it also has a dual bulb brightness - very handy! [img]graemlins/rainbow.gif[/img] - not sure what for though: still frame viewing? i can use this feature for optical printing, i hope. it would also be ideal for aerial transfers, if this projector had variable speed, which it doesn't appear to (24&18fps settings)
need to get hold of an 'OldTimer' manual copy
wonder what controls the speed on this projector - wonder if i could get at it? [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] <font size="1">[lol]</font>
Single frame will generally burn the film, but Sony made a unique projector for video transfers. Only 800 or so were ever made. Its called the BM-2100 Telecinecorder. It could go from 0 fps to 43 fps and had a video synch so you could point a video camera at it and make a really good transfer. I did this as a business for awhile and transferred for HBO and others in the early days of super 8 pro transfers. I have a few of these machines, that I do not use any longer and would consider selling one for $3,000. Let me know if you are interested
The inspiration for the development of films and projectors can be attributed to a variety of sources, including theatres, circuses and magic shows. Another important factor was the understanding of the phenomenon of persistence of vision.
