Description

[A 35 mm optical printer with two projector heads, used for special effects and film restoration. Starting from the left, light is shining from the lamp house, passes through the first projector's film gate (A) and then through the lens (B) that projects the film onto the second projector's wet gate (C); note the white hoses for the liquid. We also see the second projector’s camera lens (D), the camera's finder (E) and the adjustable shutter control (F). The heavy base (G) contains all the electronics needed for controlling the printer.]
