I run both a Westar, and Monee projector with Westrex towers, and do not have the problems that you seem to have starting the show. Holding the film back by hand seems rather a dangerous way to keep start up tension.
I set the pay off tension to 120, and the take up to 160. At these settings I find both the take up, and pay off is very smooth.
Start the projector, and when up to speed, I alter the take off to 80, and the take up to 150/160, depending what machine I am using. This works well for me, and does not need any alteration during the running time of the films.
