At the description, I thought you might have an ELF platter, but from the photos, it's as everyone says. Someone put the friction strips there. Properly adjusted, you don't need them on a Christie.
BTW, I attempted to re-open that theatre in 1989, but it turned out my partner - who was supposed to have the money - didn't.
I did, however, succeed in my intermission trailer venture. You should have a new intermission clock (and other drive-in-specific trailers) at your theatre, to sell your concessions right... Screen Attractions

The dryer sheets contain a topical conductive antistat (quaternary ammonium salt). They can be used to treat non-conductive (plastic) rollers and surfaces to minimize static buildup. Even though the film has a conductive antistatic layer, the static does need a "path to ground" through conductive platter surfaces and rollers. Liquid antistatic treatments include Static Guard, Neutrostat, Endust for Electronics, and Staticide.
Adhesive can usually be removed by using FilmGuard, mineral spirits, isopropyl alcohol, naphtha, "Goo-Gone", or other mild solvent compatible with the platter materials. Be sure to be careful with exposure to the solvent/vapors, and any flammability.
Definitely check the leveling and timing of that platter.
