<p> A review of movie projection principles and techniques as applied to conventional projectors and a description of general features, mechanism and film movement of the Rolling Loop Projector are presented.</p> <p> The characteristics of a film loop under static conditions with coplanar clamping planes are investigated in terms of loop shape, supporting forces and bending moments. An extension of this analysis is applicable to the case when the loop is fixed on a curved surface.</p> <p> The motion of a loop in the projector is simulated
as it grows and rolls on a flat surface and a numerical technique is employed to find the point paths and the velocity and acceleration vectors of these points on the loop at various instants in a projection cycle.</p> <p> Some design criteria are derived from an examination of the results, and these are presented.</p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)
