Abstract: A transport and register movement for high speed motion picture cameras and projectors and having an oscillation axis about which a claw arm oscillates and shiftably carries a claw pin carrier that reciprocates radially from said oscillation axis, including crank and connecting rod drives for separately oscillating and reciprocating motions of the claw arm and claw pin carrier, and coordinated with register pin motion.

Abstract: A film transporting mechanism includes two film transporting claws disposed on opposite sides of a center plane. The claws come into engagement with perforations in two rows of perforations in a film to be transported stepwise past a picture window. Each claw is driven by its own transporting drive. The tips of the claws traverse an elongate, closed curve which at one end enters into the film's traveling plane and at another end leaves the plane. Each of the transporting drives has at least one drive shaft that is mounted in axially spaced bearings mounted in openings in laterally spaced bearing plates. The bearings for the drive shaft, or drive shafts, are disposed on opposite sides of the center plane, in the opening of the bearing plates.

Abstract: There is disclosed a film pull-down mechanism comprising a four-pivot linkage with two additional links attached thereto. The two additional links are mounted between a plane containing the film and a plane intersecting the drive means of the mechanism.
