The autowinder is attached to the cast aluminum enclosure and permits
fast traversal of the film roll and accurate positioning to selectable
photos. It is also designed to scan original film and eliminate costs of
making film diapositives. The glass cover plate is lifted and lowered
automatically. With this arrangement, only the carriage has to move.
There is no need to move the entire film roll. The film is moved in the
autowinder by two motorized reels. For scanning, the film is placed on
the photo stage. Both the glass cover plate and the film are lifted for
film transport. The film is guided only at its edges by deflection rollers
installed at a distance of approximately 8 mm from the photo stage.
