Hello. In de loop der jaren het witte rollen kunt verzamelen veel stof op zijn chromen spindels. Je zou heel voorzichtig wel wat fijne olie zetten alleen maar een kleine druppel aan elke kant van de roller, die zal werken in de spil gebied. Maar niet over het gebruik olie in het geval het vindt zijn weg naar de eigenlijke witte rol en film. Gebruik olie met zorg op cine projectoren.

Jon, I don't understand Dutch either so I ran it through Google Translate.

This is their translation.

Hello. Over the years the white roll can gather much dust on his chrome spindles. You would be very careful some fine oil only put a small drop on each side of the roller, which will work in the spindle area. But not about the use of oil in case it finds its way into the actual role and white film. Use oil with care cine projectors.

Hello Chris, Winbert,

Thank you for the suggestion but that was not the point I was trying to make, the OP posted the question in English, I believe answers to his question should be in English so most of us can understand it without having to dig up for the right translation software.

I, for one, speak and write 4 languages fluently yet I only use English here.

Online translators are not very accurate.

Jon, the point is Lee is making a joke by answering Jeroen in Dutch, which I believe was taken from Google Translator.

And as Jeroen has confirmed, Lee's Dutch sounds funny.... [Big Grin]

Hi Winbert,

As I don't speak or read Dutch, I had no way of knowing Lee was making a joke.

By my previous posting with the confused Graemlin ( [Confused]

) I had hoped that Lee would have also answered in English. Finding solutions to problems is, in my opinion, a major benefit of this Forum.

One never knows when a problem and solution discussed here today will pop up in the future, hence understanding the answer is invaluable!

In any event I didn't mean to start any argument over this. [Big Grin]

Regards,

Jon
