Abstract: The sprocket assembly for periodic advancement of film in a film projector is supported axially between rotated members and is corotative with the members upon increase in axial force therebetween. One of the members is axially restrained and the second member supported for minute axial movement. Force giving rise to the corotation of the members and sprocket assembly is applied to the second member by selective movement of a magnetically attractable element into a magnetic field generated continuously during projector use.

Abstract: Timing apparatus comprising a housing having a fluid-containing conduit and a body movable in the conduit under the influence of gravity includes a valve for controlling circulation of fluid in the conduit and thereby controlling the time elapsed during movement of the body between preselected locations. The housing supports a magnet for sliding movement when the body descends to its lowermost location and a member responsive to such magnet movement initiates audible output indication.
