Projection box
Another view looking down the projection box circa 1970. Showing new 16mm rewind bench built in the box, and the rewind room beyond. Just visible is the new motorised rewind bench I assembled from bits acquired. The separate rewind room, explosion vents in the projection box ceiling, and the shutters over the projection ports were required to show nitrate film

I meant to add that the large vertical cabinet on the wall is actually the shell of the original non sync (record decks) put to better use when we acquired a more modern Thorens unit. The original non syncs were very heavy and simply wrecked modern (at the time) LPs. Whilst most cinemas in Bristol still played “Mantovani” type of music, we started playing “pop” records which I often brought in from home, once we got something decent to play them on in stereo.
