ABSTRACT:
A film metering mechanism has parallel pawl and blade elements with apertures that align in the beam of an infrared detector to slow down a camera drive motor when a pawl tooth senses a perforation during film advance, prior to reaching a drive motor stopping point. The pawl has a cutout with upper longitudinal and ramp surfaces that engage a fixed pin. The blade has a stepped surface that shifts contact between two pawl pins in correspondence with the relative location of the cutout surfaces and the fixed pin.
