Ok...Mr. Changeover here!I take exception to the comment regarding that platters are somehow easier on film than reels are! I have never worn out a print running them on reels (in excess of 500 runs). Reels can be set up to handle film as well (and in my opinion better than platters) without putting any twists in the film path. And to Brad... My jaw has never dropped when seeing platterheads interlock...more like my hand slapping my forehead at the silliness of it all....2 or more times as many people going by the concession stand in the same amount of time as a normal intermission....Us reel-to-reel guys much prefer to bicycle the print over multiple screens (or even locations if you are really daring, try that with a platter). It is nifty to have a print start the next show before it ends the previous. Steve "Old projectionists never die, they just changeover!"

Twist, twist, twist. Is that all you ever complain about??? (Just kidding, for everyone else, Steve and I had a long chat the other night debating film transports.) I turn to the film man himself...Mr. John Pytlak to settle this for us! The result is called edgewave (not trying to impersonate Mr. Pytlak or anything) but have seen it get progressive with a film's run on either poorly aligned reels or platters in general.
Steve (PS does Kodak run their films on platters for their evaluations?)
