Gate Lacing

1.Make sure the transport is in ‘Unloaded’ mode bydepressing the Stop/Unload button.

2.Raise the gate stripper plate up off the fixed register pins by pressing . Sometimes you need to slightly rotate the motor drive to free up the plate. See Fig 41 and 43

3.Lift the shuttle pins up and latch it in the upper position. See fig 36

4.Lace the film between the plate top and bottom.

5.Have the frame bar positioned in the middle of the gate aperture. Make sure the fixed register pins are lined up with the film perforations. The shuttle pin should line up with the perforation just to the left of the framing bar. You may need a little physical adjustment by sliding the shuttle pins side to side until over the perforations by rotating the motor drive (Fig 43) until the plate and shuttle pins are at the correct point in the cycle.

6.Unclip the shuttle pin latch and lower the pins carefully down and into the film perforation. See Fig 36 & 41

7.Press to lower the plate down onto the pins. The Transport should then automatically frame the film and bring the image into focus.

8.Do not operate the transport with the lacing latch (Fig 36) in the up position as this could damage some film perforations
