Bill, just like the sprocket holes the sound track is down the middle of the film.

Sorry, could'nt resist that one. [Big Grin]

Here are the locations and dimensions of the optical track for 9.5mm film, courtesy of Martyn Stevens's Cinerdistan web site:

Thanks for a laugh, Paul! So it's just like 35mm in that the picture is shifted and the frame separation is thicker.

Which means that Pathe sound projectors should routinely come with two apertures, right? Or would that just be too practical?

I believe that is correct. Maybe someone here on the forum with a VOX or Son could confirm that.
