ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed herein a film platter system involving modifications to a platter system comprising two or more rotary film platters used in the makeup and breakdown of film for motion picture projection in theaters and the like. The system and method involves the use of a tightly wound extended length (e.g., 6,000-7,000 feet) roll of motion picture film. An adapter plate assembly is provided to be used in place of the usual center ring and plug-in control plate used in film platter systems so as to allow a core of the extended length film roll to be suitably secured to one platter for payout to a second platter in making up a film coil (e.g., 12,000 feet) for projection. In addition, a tensioner for use with one or more platters is provided to facilitate breakdown of the film roll into its extended length (e.g., 6,000-7,000 feet) roll for repackaging and shipping to the next theater. A method for make-up and break-down, as well as details of the adapter assembly and tensioner are shown and described.
