Answers:1. All the keys are keyed alike, so someone might be able to get a key mailed to you. I suggest leaving things UNLOCKED, unless you have a problem with people monkeying with things they shouldn;t be. Trust me, when something goes awry, the lamphouse keys are the first things to go missing.... Murphy's Law. 2. The device is commonly called a Tension Failsafe or Tension Sensor. It will kick the automation into stop mode if feed tension is too great. -Aaron

Kodak has consistently recommended tension-sensing failsafes on platters for polyester film. I agree that the models that have some slack to let the projector coast to a stop without damaging film are the best option. IMHO, they should be wired directly into the automation, so the projector stops immediately, rather than having the platter take-up stop, and then another fail-safe detect that.------------------ John P.
