Operation
Loading the Slide Tray
A KODAK CAROUSEL® 140 SI ide Tray is designed to hold up to 140 slides. Be sure that your slide mounts are in good condition; frayed or bent mounts may fail to drop into the projector. A variety of slide trays are available with capacity up to 140 slides. See your dealer in Kodak products for a complete list of Kodak trays and accessories. Note: Do not attempt to project slides mounted with sticky or loose tape.
Place the tray over the center post of the projector. Align the “0” slot with the gate index; the tray will drop into position.
If your 140-slide tray does not drop easily, secure the lock ring, invert the tray, and align the index hole with the index notch. Slide and hold the tray release latch in the direction of the arrow, and turn the bottom plate until the index hole and notch align. Then release the latch. If you use an 80slide tray, rotate the metal plate on the bottom of the tray until it locks into position.

Selecting Slide Projection Lenses

When buying a lens, consider features such as focal length (measured in millimetres), aperture (designed as an f/stop) and the lens design (curved or flat).

When selecting a lens, remember that the shorter the focal length (i.e., the smaller the f!number), the brighter the projected image. Also, a curved-field lens, in combination with cardboard open face mounts from an automated mounting process, provides superior projection quality. A flat-field lens is the best choice for glass-mounted slides.
