Hi Tom ... Idaho is interesting, lol. Far cry from L.A. Lots less traffic and stress to deal with. But this last winter was horrible, got stuck here in town and missed work on a few days. (But county plows were good about getting the road re-opened within 24 hours.) At the peak I had snow three feet deep over my entire property with some 6-8 foot drifts.
Anyways, back on topic..
Adding a pump is a good idea, aim it's output at the top slinger like the regular pump and you should be fine.
I would still advise limiting the reverse time, mainly because the film will stick in the trap and gate with extended reversing. The studio I mentioned had a few issues with "green" prints because of that.
If possible, Film-Guard the prints to help prevent sticking.
And since you are doing transfers, you probably already know this but for those reading the thread, I have to add that in ANY reversing application, the film gate and trap MUST be kept spotlessly cleaned for EVERY reel. Film-Guard works great for that too...
I was actually able to get a Simplex 70mm head to run in reverse for a short time....the mag tracks' added drag would only allow about 50 feet or so before the friction built up to dangerous levels. This was just an experiment to see if it could be done, using old trailers for test film. I am willing to bet that newer 70mm with DTS timecode could run much longer in reverse..but the stress on the intermittent's star and cam is very high..(One thing I never liked about the Simplex 35/70 intermittent..the star and cam were, in size anyway, pretty identical to the 35mm only version.)
