[QUOTE="JediMichael, post: 5260887, member: 97718"] I have never seen one that switches reels while playing (unless I'm just misunderstanding it). Ours, the projectionist would have to build them and wind it all back up to one giant reel, and then it sat like this on the side and then after going through the projector, wind back up on another plater. Each had 3 just incase. There were also tripods they could use when it was a super popular movie that everyone had to come and see. It could start on one projector, go down through the sprockets on the tripods, and through another projector and then wind up on that one. So for the theater renting one film copy, they were making the money off 2 screens...BUT, if something did go wrong, and it very much could and did at times, they had to give out free tickets to 2 theaters worth of people.
