The Mowlem,Swanage
This is where I work part time as a projectionist.
The Mowlem has two Kalee model 20, numbers 20863 (1) and 20865 (2).
Unlike modern cinemas which have a continuous run, these machines use
reels that run for up to twenty minutes, when the reel runs out the
second
machine needs to be started to take over from the first, if done
properly
the audience will not notice the changeover
- well thats the theory.
