Absolutely superb Dino! Looking forward to a full report. To think that you are out there actually showing these 100 year old prints to new audiences is wonderful. Are you using your Pathescope Premiere?

Sounds great ! I haven't seen often 28 mm projectorsor films . The only I saw were at Argenteuil. Wikepidia's description of the gauge says that the film has "3 perforation on both sides per frame (US and Canada) 3 perforation on the left and 1 on the right per frame (Europe)". It is not exactly what I see on your picture. Always better to see a picture than reading a description.

Wikipedia's description is confusing however if the film is threaded in the projector with the frames inverted and viewed looking towards the screen then the three perforations are on the left and the single perforations are on the right.

Hey just got a great write up in the Chicago Sun Times

96 year old projector comes to Evanston

What it doesn't state is that one of the coolest films in the screening "How Movies Move" comes from the collection of Tommy Stathes and The Bray Animation Project..

Thanks for the link. I never saw a 28 mm projection. Must be a magical moment.
