Be,for,e the proje'ctor to the mains, please refer to your electricity meter to check up on your mains supply. The EUMIG P 8 AUTOM,ATIC "NOVOII will ope-rate only on 11 Q.--220 volt (110-240 A. C. (50--60 cycles). The voltage selector A (Fig. 4) above the rna-ins socket is normally set to 220 volts. If you do not have 220 volt current, you must adjust the voltage selector by f'urning it until the correct voltage is opposite the wh ite dot Before you reset the voltage selectnr, you must disconne-ct the mains lead. Now swing out both spool arms as indicated (Fig. 4). You can now connect the P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO" to the mains by inserting the female plug of the- mains lead supplied into socket B (Fig. 4). Ple'ase notice the connection for room lighting C (Fig. 4). We suggest that you connect a table lamp or small stondord lomp tn socket C. The lamp goes out automatically when the projector is switched on and comes on aga,in when the projector is switched off. Set the speed control 0 fully to the right (maximum speed) and switch on motor and projection lamp at the' same t'ime by means of switch E (Fig. In order to obtain the corre,ct running spe,ed, shift control D as far to the, I,eft as will be possible without any flicker appe,aring in the proiect'ed imag e. Switch F operates the forward-reverse mechanism. There is more about this on Page 14 "Reverse projection". The two scre'w feet G are for tilting the projector. In order to comply with regulations in various countries regarding the earthing of electrical appliances, the P 8 AUTO,M,ATIC "NOVO" is provided with an earth socket 5,

Your EUMIG P 8 AUTO,MATIC "NOVO" projector has been fitted w,ith V 100 W iodine-quartz lamp in our works. Should you need to fit a new lamp: 1. Lift off the cover of the lamp housing (Fig. 6) and pull out the cover plate at the' side (F'ig. 7). The lamp can then be re'moved.
Warning! The' lamp becomes ve'ry hot durin,g use, and the' glass will then be a reddish-blue colour. When changing the lamp, wait until it has cooled off and this colour has faded away.
2. Take the new lamp from its packing, leaving the p1rotective sleeve in place, and fit it into the projector so that the two locating pins (which carry the power supply) are pushed firmly home. Remove the protective sl,e,eve, taking care not to lo:osen the lamp in its holder.

Fig.6 Fig.7

Im,po:rtant: The la,mp glass m'ust not be touche,d with the' bar;e fing,ers, as traces of the subst'ances secreted by the skin will then be baked onto the surface, shortening the' life of the lamp and reducing its light output. If the surface is touched accidentally/it should be wiped clean immediately with a clean rag dipped in spirit.
3. Repl'Oce the cover of the lamp ho,using (Fig. 8) and push the side cover plate in enough to I'eave the' two lamp-centring screws A and B visible (Fig. 7). Scre'w A shifts the lamp along its optical axis, while screw B provides sideways adjustment. 4. Switch on the projector and turn screW A with 'a coin or screwdriver until the lamp filament' can be clearly se'en on the, projection scre'en as a series of dark bors. Use scre,w B to move the lamp side1ways until the, image of the' filament is evenly spread allover' the' screen; then turn screw A again until the bars disappear completely leaving the scre1en evenly illuminated. 5. Push the cover plate home. This centring operation needs to be carried out only once for each lamp.
New EUMI1G automatic film threading on the P 8 AUTOMATIC IINOVO"
Automa!tic threading f'ight ontOI the talke-up spool Having trained your P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO" on the screen and set the projector to the correct height, you can proceed to thread the film. An error-free functioning of the automatic threader is only then guaranteed when the film end has been properly prepared, that is, trimmed in the correct way. Fig. 9 shows how the correctly trimmed film end should look like. Take good care that the perforaHon C is not damaged by the trimming.

NOTE: For the preservation of your valuable film we recommend the splicing on of a long leader. As, for a perfect functioning of the automatic threader it is essential to have an absolutely straight end to the film, creased or half-torn film ends must be cut off or made perfectly smooth.
Fit the 'automatic spool' onto the spool-arm. The peg on the spool-arm should engage in the hole in the' spool centre, and the key on the peg will fit into one of the t'hre1e, radi,al slots. These slots are provided on one side of the 'automatic spool' only, so that it cannot be fitted the wrong way round. Now unhinge the threading lever of the supporting knob which is on the proje1ctor casing and move' the same downwards in arrow direcf'ion so that it meets the spool cente'r (Fig. 10). Take care that the slider E (Fig. 24, page 15) is on the upper stop; this position prevents lateral sliding of the film out of the threading lever.
Afte,r ha,ving put the feed spool on the front arm - with the perforations on the right, looking towards the' screen from behind the proje,ctor - set lever C on point D and the speed control to its middle position. Switch on the projector by means of switch E (switch F must be selt to "forward" and the lever for sti,11 proje'ction 1 With the motor should NOT be on still proje'ction" see running, the nd of the film is slid between the' stamped rib and the feed sprocket. From this mom,ent onward, the automat'ic threader takes charge' of all further film manipulation. In case it w'as forgof't.en to set lever C to the correct pO's'ition and the film has already enga'ged in the automatic threoder, all hat is ne,cessary is to switch to "reverse" (slee "Reverse on
The film then disengages from the autom,atic mechanism. After having set lever C to point D, the film may be re-inserted in the automatic threader.
NOTE: Films that have come back from processing will usu a,lIy wind off as shown in Sketch I (Fig. 11) on their first run the projector. In this particul'Or case, reverse' proje1ction, described on 14, is impossible as the film would not be wound on to the take-up Only when the film has be'en run through once normally and subsequently rewound will it come off the spool in such a way (see Sketch II, 11) that revelrse projection is possible.

After the film hlas hitched automatically at the takeup spool, turn the lever C to the' left (F,jg. 13). This locks the film transport and frees the loops the automatic threader. which have been formed

Thre,ading by hand

The P 8 AUTOM,ATIC "NOVO" can alsO' be thre'aded by hand. This may be necessary when it is desired to proje'ct a piece of film somewhere in the middle of the spool. For this purpose, first unscrew the automatic threader (see Fig. 2, Page 4, for position of this screw), next' unwind a sufficient length of film, open the' g'ate' by turning lever A downwards (see Fig. 14), thre!ad the' film and close the g'ate by moving the iever back. Do not put the' gat'e-opening lever completely over to the right - this would switch on the rewind mechanism. After the loop has been shaped by following the- line indicated on the side' of the projector, the film is led past the feed sprocket. Pull gently as indicated in Fig. 15, and the perforations will be engaged by the teeth of the feed sprocket. Lead the film past the take-up sprocket in the same way (see' Fig. 16). Then le'ad the film under the guide ro.lfers and fix to the spool on the' take-up arm -- if it is the- beginning of the film which is being thre'aded At the rear of the projector is the knob for manual ope ration of the projector mechanism (Fig. 21, Page 14). This feature enables you to ensure before showing your film to an O'udienc:e that the dow is transporting the film correctly.
The' P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO" is now ready for projection. Switch on by means of switch E, as described in "Automatic threading of the film" on Page 10. The table lamp connected to the projector wil immedia~ely go out. First determine the desired scre,en picture size by holding the lens with the left hand, by the knurled ring, while the right hand is grosping the front rim (the ring be,aring the inscription) and pulling out the tube in the direction of the projection. Then focus by rotating the lens to the right or left. Picture size and focus are, of course, also adjustable during projection. Adjust the running speed if neC8ss'ary with the speed control A (Fig. 17) until all flicker disappears.

NOTE: During the short time taken by the automatic threading of the film, the projector noise is slightly louder than during the actual projection. In order to pro,tect the film, a speci,al gold-glass heat absorbing filter is automotically interpos'ed bet'ween the lamp and the film when the projector is switched on, remaining in position until the normal speed has been reached. This filter is also interposed as soon as the speed drops to below 10 frames per second. If parts of two frames are' shown on the sere'en, turn knob B until this fault disappears.

If you are expecting guests, it is advisable to have a trial run to make any necessary adjustments for picture size, focus, speed and framing. Then aH you have to do is to switch on the At the end of the performance, you switch off the projector, and the table lamp will automatically come on Fig. 18 shows the relationship between picture size and screen distance when using the focal lengths range of the EUPRO-ZOOM lens (15-25 mm.).
Visible reverse pro'iection
The P 8 AUTOtMATIC "NOVO also permits reverse projection. To switch over from forward to reverse, simply move switch A (Fig. 19). There is no need to switch off the projector beforehand. During the short t:ime the film slows stops, and begins to run a shutter automatically cuts off the light to protect the film from damage. This moves out of the optical path again once the film has reached the requi,red running speed. After switching from forward to reverse projection or vice versa, it may be necessary to readjust the fr'aming.

Still proiection

Fig. 20 Fig. 21
Still projection serves for obseirving individual frame's of a film. In this case, back switch B as shown in Fig. 20. This automatically introduces the special goldgl,ass heat filter into the system, noticeable by the drop in the projected image brilliance. On to still proje,ction, the rotating projector shutter may occasionally stop in front of the film gate and so obscure the pic21) at the rear of the projector until the ture.

Keep the projector scrupulously clean, e'speci,ally those parts that come into contact with the' film. First unscrew the automatic threader'. To facilitate cleaning the,gate', the lens mount can be swung out to the right by turning the g'af'e-opening lever after having disconnected the mains lead. Both the gate and the interchangeable lens mus;t be de'aned from time tOI time, 'with a soft doth or brush. Any dirt' or film dust should be re,moved f'rom the' gate, with a wooden skewer or' some such object'. Ple'ase do not 'use, any meral ohje,ct' for this purpose - i t would scratch the gate, and thus damage your fi.lms.

E,UMIG P 8 PHONOMATIC "NOVO"
The wo,rld's firs,t 8 m,ml p,roiector wi'th ain iodine,qua'rtz lamp
Your P BPHONOMATIC "NO'VO" is the first 8 mm. cine projector in the world to be fitted with a new kind of projection lamp - the iodine-quartz lamp. This is a recent pioneering achievement by EUMIG, and means that you now have an extremely reliable and highly-efficient projector. The iodine-quartz lamp, quite apart from being smaller than the lamps used in projectors up to now, offers the following advantages:

Long operating life

The iodine-quartz lamp has a much longer operating life than the projection lamps used in the past. On average, the iodine-quartz lamps fitted to our projectors burn for 50 hours - which makes them very economical to use. Consta:nt light Olutput The light output of an iodine-quartz lamp remains constant throughout its life, and you get exactly the same brightness on your screen all thet1:tlle the lamp is in use. There is none of the slow, graduo,1 blackening of the glass which occurs with the projection lamps used up to now.

The screen image from an iodine-quartz lamp is very much brighter and crisper than that from even the bes1 of the lamps in current use (such as the low-voltage lamps).
Pro'iecting silent films with the EUMIG P 8 PHONOMATIC "NOVO"
Before connecting the projector to the mains, please refer to your electricity meter to check up on your mains supply. The EUMIG P 8 PHONO,MATIC "NOVO," will operate only on 110-220 volt (110-240 volt) A. C. (50-60 cycles). The voltage selector A (Fig. 4) above the mains socket is normally set to 2'20 volts. If you do not have 220 volt current, you must adjust the voltage se,lector by turning it until the correct voltage is opposite the' white dot. Before you reset the voltage selector, you must disconnect the mains lead. Now swing out the feed spool arm as indicated (Fig. 4). You can now connect the P 8 PHO,NO,MATIC "NOVO" to the mains by 'inserting the female plug of the mains lead supplied into socket B (Fig. 4). Please notice the connection for room lighting C (Fig. 4). We sugge'st that you connect a table lamp or small standard lamp to socket C. The lamp goes out automatically when the projector is switched on and comes on aga in when the projector is switched off. Set the, speed control D fully to the right (maximum speed) and s'witch on motor and projection lamp at the' same time by means of switch E (Fig. 5). In order to obtain the correct running speed, shift control D as far to the' leoft as will be possible without any flicker appearing in the projected image. Switch F operates the forward-reverse mechanism. There is more about this on Page 14 "Reverse projection". The two screw feet Gore. for tilting the projector. In order to comply with regulations in various countries regarding the earthing of electrical appliances, the P 8 PHONOMATIC "NOVO" is provided with an earth socket (Page 5, Fig.

Having trained your P 8 PHO'NO'M,ATIC "NOVO" on the screen and set the projector to the correct height, you can proceed t'o thread the film. An error-free functioning of the. automatic threader is only then guaranteed when' the film end has be'en properly prepared, that is, trimmed in the corre'ct way. Fig. 9 shows how the' corre'ctly trimmed film end should look like. Take good care that the perforation C is not damaged by the t'l"'lrnrYilnn NOTE: For the preservation of your valuable film we recommend the splicing on of a long leader. As, for a perfect funcfiioning of the automatic threader it is essential to have an absolu1tely straight end to the film, creased or half-torn film ends must be cut off or made perfectly smooth.

Fig. 8

Raise the rear spool-ann of the projector and, holding the threading arm 10), fit the aUlrOlllatlc spool' onto the spool-arm. The peg on the spool-arm should engage in the hole in the spool centre, and the key on the peg will fit into one of the three radial slots. These slots are provided on one side of the' 'automatic spool' so that ,it cannot be fitted it rests the spool the wrong way round. The threading arm js then lowered so centre 11).

Fig. 11

After having put the feed spool on the front arm - with the perforations on the right, looking towards the screen from behind the projector - set lever C on point D and the speed control to its middle position. Switch on the projector by means of switch E (switch F must be set to "forward" and the lever for still projection should NO'T be on "still projection", see Fig. 12). With the motor running, the end of the film is slid between the stamped rib and the feed sprocket. From this moment onward, the automatic threader takes charge of all further film manipulation. In case it was forgotten to set lever C to the correct position and the film has alre'ady engaged in the automatic threader, all that is necessary is to switch to ureverse" (see "Reverse projection" on Page 14). The film then disengages from the automatic mechanism. After having se,t lever C to point D, the film may be re-inserted in the automatic threader.
NOTE: Films that have just come back from processing will usually wind off as sho,wn in Sketch I on their first run through the projector. In this particular case, reverse projection, described on Page 14, is impossible as t'he film, would not be wound on to the take-up spool. Only when the film has been run through once normally and subsequently rewound will it come off the spool in such a way (see Sketch II) that reverse projection is possible.

Fig. 12 Fig. 13

After the film has hitched automat'ically at the takeup spool, turn the lever C fully to the left (Fig. 13). This locks the film transport and frees the loops which have been formed by the automatic threader.

Fig. 15

Fig. 16
Threading by ha:nd The P 8 PHO'NO'MiATIC "NOVO can also be threaded by hand. This may be necessary when it is desired to project a piece of film somewhere in the middle of the spool. For this purpose, first' unscrew the automaf'ic threader (see Fig. 2, Page 4, for position of this screw), next unwind a sufficient length of film, open the gate by turning lever A Fig. thread the film and close the ga te by moving the lever back. Do not put the gate-opening downwards lever completely over to the right - this would switch on the rewind mechanism. After the loop has been shaped by following the line in dicated on the side of the projector, the film is led past as indicated in and the perforat'ions will be engaged the teeth of the the feed sprocket. Pull feed sprocket. Lead the film past the take-up sprocket in the same way (see Fig. 16). Then lead the film under the gu,jde rollers and fix to the spool on the take-up arm - if it is the beginning of the film which is being threaded. At the rear of the projector is knob for manual ope ration of the projector mechanism 21 Page This fe'ature enables you to ensure before showing your film to an audience that the claw is transporting the film

The P 8 PHQ,NO'MATIC "NOVO" is now ready for prc)lectllon. Switch on by means of switch E, as described in UAutomatic threading of the film" on 10. The table Ilamp connected to the projector will 'immediately go out. First determine the desired screen picture size by holding the lens w'ith the left hand, by the knurled ring, while the hand is grasping the front rim (the ring bearing the' inscripNon) and pulling out the tube in the direction of the projection. Then focus by the lens to the right or left. Picture size and focus are, of course, also adjustable during projection. the running speed if necessary with the control A (Fig. 17) until all flicker disappears.
NOTE: Duriing the short time taken by the automatic threading of the film, the' projector noise is slightly louder than during the actual projection. In order to protect' the film, a special gold-glass heat absorbing filter is automatically between the lamp and the film when the projector is switched on, remaining in position until' the normal speed has been reached. This filter is also interposed as soon as the speed drops to below 10 fram~s per second.
If parts of two frames are shown on the screen, turn knob B until this fault disappears.

screen distance in feet
If you are- expecting guests, it is advisoble to have a trial run to make any necessary adjustments for picture size, focus, speed and framing. Then all you have to do is to switch on the projector. At the end of the performance you just switch off the projector, and the table lamp will automatically come on again. Fig. 18 shows the relationship between picture size and screen distance when using the focal lengths range of the EUPRO-ZOOM lens (15-25 mm.).

Fig, 19

Vi:sible' re've,r'se- proiie,ction The P 8 PHONOMATIC "NOVO" also permits reverse projection. To switch over from forward to reverse, simply move sw'itch A (Fig. 19). There is no need to switch off the projector beforehand. During the short time the film slows down, stops, and begins to run backwards, a shutter automatically cuts off the light to protect the film from damage. This moves out of the optical path again once the film has reached the required running speed. After switching from forward to reverse projection or vice versa, it may be necessary to readjust the framing.

Still proie'ction

Still projection serves for observing individual frames of a film. In this case, pull back switch B as shown in Fig. 20. Thisautomat'ically introduces the special goldglass heat filter into the optical system, noticeable by the drop in the p-roje-cted image brilliance. On switching to still projection, the rotating projector shutter may occasionally stop in front of t,he film gate and so obscure the picture. In that case, turn knob C (Fig. 21) at the rear of the projector unNI the required frame appears on the screen. This knob also serves to move the film forward and backward, frame by frame, forselecting any particular singl'e frame.

Rewindi'ng is a very simple and speedy operation with the EUMIG P 8 PHOINOM,AJIC "NOVO" as the projector has power rewind. You will find this a great blessing with the large 400 ft. reels.

When the trailer has completely run through, lelod the' film directly from the take-up to the feed spool and fix it to the latter. Then turn lever D as far forward as it will go, which couples the rewind mechanism, and the film will be rewound quickly. When re'w'inding is almost complete, it is advisable to reduce the speed by means of the motor speed control. For rewinding, switch A, must be set to "Forward". Should you have set it to JlReserve" by mistake and switched on the rewind mechanism, the projector motor will run, but the fake-' up spool will not revolve.

If you desire' to rewind already in thel middle of the at first press the slider E: in the direction of the arrow. Then take off the' automatic threader, open the gate, remove the film therefrom, and disengage from the' fe'ed and take,-up sprockets by pre1ssing the, spots marked "Xli. then is it possible to proceed with rewinding as described above.
NOTE: Before rei-setting the automatic threader, the- slider E must again be brought into its initial position.

a sound.
The EUMII,G P 8 PHONOMATIC IINOYO" has a built--in sound coupler which, connection with a tape recorder of 33/4 ips. t!ape makes possible perfect synchronization of your 8 mm. The great advantage of the P 8 PHO'NO'M,ATIC IiNOVO" is that no separate connections or accessories are needed for the addition of sound. The whole sound-coupling unit is built into the P 8 PHONO'MATIC "NO,VO" and is very
simple in Connect the P 8 PHONO,MATIC NO'YO,l' to the mains. Switch on and let it warm up for a short time. Now switch off the projector and set to maximum spe,ed far the speed control C (Fig. as it will go to the right). The recorder must, of course, also be connected to the mains; set its speed to 3,3/4 ips. It is advis'able to allow the recorder a short warming-up period.
Threading the' film The film should be threaded in the usual mannerl as described on Pages 9, 10, 11 and 12. Synchronizing marks For the purpose of synchronous sound it is necessary for commencement of the sound recording to be indicated plainly visible marks on the film as well as on the sound recording tape. On the film, the marks are best made visible by cross perforations, or a piece of adhesive tape. You may also use the first splice (the join between the leader and the actual film). This mark must always be in the same position when beginning projection, and we suggest that it be set immediately above the feed sprocket (0, Fig. 24). You should scratch or stick a permanent starting mark on the recorder sketch) so as to mark the starting position of the recorder tape. This, too, must have a mark on its glossy so as not to damage the recording surface adhesive of another colour is most suitable for this purpose). Both for sound recording and for each play-back the mark on tape must be as exactly as possible' opposite the permanent starting mark (see Fig. 25).

Place the t1ape recorder behind the projector in such a position that the tape travels out of the sound head to the projector (Fig. 26). Now draw out the tape for enough from the recorder to enable it to pass through the sound synchronizing unit and back to the recorder. We shall now explain the function of the handy tape guide A (Fig. 27). This ensures that the tape always runs on to the sound roller at the correct angle. Pressure lever B should stand at Alias shown in Fig. 27. Thread the tape through the tape guide over the tape roller C with the glossy side downwards, round rocking lever D, and take it along the indicated path over t'ape roller E to the sound roller F. The tape is now drawn tight, the'reby raising the rocking lever D (Fig. 28) up to the upper end of its guide channel. With the left hand, the tape is firmly

pressed on to the sound roller F whereby the rocking lever is held in an elevated position as shown in Fig. 28. With the right hand, the tape is passed round the sound roller (the mat side of the tape is now against the roller), along the, marks over the pressure roller G (Fig. 29), and end roller H (Fig. 29). Now lead the tape- through the tape guide and move pressure lever B 29) from position A to position B. This presses the sound roller and pressure roller against one another, holding the tape securely. The tape is now taken back to the recorder, fastened to the take-up spool and tightened slightly turning this spool. The tape should be threaded in such a manner that the starting mark of the tape coincides exactly with the' permanent mark on the tape recorder.

Sound recording Switch on the pro,jector, care that it is set to "Forward" and that the still projection lever is in the forward position. It will, however, not begin to run. The electrical contact is not established until the recorder is switched on, which means that the projector is switched on and off by the tape recorder. As soon as the tape recorder starts ("Record" position) the film and tape also start running synchronously at the' rate of 33/4 ips. that is to say 16 frames per second, and the sound recording can commence,. This should be done on a basis of well prepared scripts or
of music specially sele'cted for the purpose, so that the recording can be done at a lively pace. Should it he necessary to stop the recording, all that has to be done is to actuate the recorder stop key. Even repeated interruptions do not mar the synchronism of the recording. The projector automatically stops the moment the, tape recorder is switched off. Scene,s already re'corded can easily be altered or erased after the film has been rewound. The tape recorder is switched on to "Play-back" and the film and the recorded tape are allowed to run until the scene in question comes up. Here the process is interrupted, the tape recorder is switched on to "Re,cord" and the sound recording can be resumed at this point.

the tape on a projector ready for performance
With some tape recorders it will be necessary to press a stop key (instant stop) for the start, interruption or end of the recording, so as to ensure that the projector will be switched on or ooff just at the right moment. Take care that the tape does not form a loop when you actuate the instant stop key; if necessary, gently turn the takeup spool by hand to tighten any loops formed.
As soon as the sound recording is both the tape recorder and the projector should be switched off (set projector switch to "Off" tion). Only in this case will the table lamp up, if connected. Unthread both and tape, and rewind. A really synchronous sound track needs great accuracy and depends also very much on the quality of the tape used.
and we should mention the EU,M,IG Manual Hammer Verlag, Vienna.
Re!pro,ductio,n a'nd showing
The, sequence of operations is identical with description under "Sound difference is that the tape recorder should ll be set instead of at "Record CAUTION! Do not forget to leave the pressure lever in A when not using the n'lf'r"cr''I!'nl'" This protects the' precision-ground rubber roller the form,ation of spots.
It would be beyond the scope of these instructions to go into the many types of sound hade There are many books on the sub-
----_.-:--------~-------",-------.,
The advantage of reverse projection by synchronizing activities.
If y'ou make a mistake in recording the sound track, you must normally re-spool and rethread both the film and the tape, and then repeat the- whole process described in the section "Sound recording" on Page 20 from the point where the recording went wrong. All this will take- up a great deal of time!, especially if the mistake- has occurred at the end of a long reel, in which case you must run the whole film through again until you come- to the point from which you are going to repeat the recording, to say nothing of the time wasted in re-spooling and re-threading.
To avoid such loss of ime, the experienced worker will employ the method of synchronous re-spooling of tape and film. Briefly, the process is as follows:

1. Stop the tape recorder, thus automatically stopping the' projector.
2. Switch the projector to "Reserve projection" and the tape recorder to "Rapid rewind", Neither the proie,ctor nor the tape recorder will begin to operate, as the rocking lever A (Fig. 31) is in the top position, so that the projector is switched off and the tape is held fast. 3. With your left hand, hold the rocking lever A in the top position, and with your right hand, turn the feed spool of the tape recorder until enough tape is available to allow you to return the rocking lever to the bottom position and thus switch on the projector.

Fig. 33

4. With the rocking lever held in the bottom position (FI g. 33), immediately release the feed spool of the' tape recorder. The film and the tape will now run in reverse, and you can see by watching the screen when you re'ach the point from which you must repeat the recording. Allow the film and the tape to run back a little beyond this point. 5. Switch off the projector and the tape re'corder by rais ing the rocking lever A (Fig. 31) as far as it will go. 6. Switch the projector to "Forward" and the tape recorder to "Play-back, and the film and the tape will begin to run again. (Rele'ase the instant stop key of the tape recorder if necessary). When you reach the point from which yo,u are going to repeat your recording, proceed as described in the section "Sound recording" on Page 20, that is to say, stop the tape recorder, and switch it to "Record". You can now begin recording. It is important for the success of this method to eliminate the friction (brake e1ffect) of the, take-up spool of the tape recorder. This friction is usually eliminated in rapid re-sp ooling, but if this is not the case with your recorder, simply put the, spool on a make-shift axle, say, a pencil held in the hand. Of course, you can also rewind the tape by hand, but then you must take care to rewind exactly as much tape as is transported by the projector. It is advisable to have a fe,w dummy runs to se'e whether synchronous rewinding of tape and film is possible with your tape re'corder.

Especially those' parts of the' projector that come, into contact with the film must always be kept clean. To begin with, unscrew the' automatic threader and remove any dust, that may have' collected there, with a soft brush. To facilitate cI'eaning the gate, the lens mount ca'n be swung out to the' right by turning the' gate-opening lever - first disconnect the mains lead I Both the gate, and the, interchangeable lens must be cleaned from time to time, with a soft cloth or brush. Any dirt or film -dust should be re'moved from the gate which a wooden skewer or som-e, such object. Ple-ase do not use any m,etal object for this purpose - it would scratch the' gate, and thus damage, your films. Your P 8 PHO,NO,MATIC "NOVO" has only one point that is to be lubricated from time to time, according to the frequency with which it is being used (only one drop of oil I). This lubricating point is above the sound roller of the sound coupler; it is marked with a red dot. We recommend the, use of a machine oil 6-80 E/SO,O C, free from any acid or residues, of medium thickness (e. g. Shell x-100. 20 W/40, Mob,il OTE extra heavy, Hyspin 140). All other parts of the proje-clor have received life-long lubrication in the factory.
If necessary, the motor carbons can easiliy be removed for cleaning. Simply loosen the screw of the lower carbon on the base of the projector :with a coin. In order to remove the upper carbon, loosen first the locking screw (Fig. 3, page' 5) and open the side wall of the projector.
If you should have occasion to replace one of the wire drive belts A or B, first of all put the gate-opening lever as for over to the right as it will go, as if you were going to rewind.
To replace the rubber drive belt C, first set the- still projection lever to "Still". You can now fit the belt, putting it first over the upper and then over the lower roller.
