No other projector has "Film Guard," the exclusive
Bolex Swiss-patented device that automatically
keeps the film loop from being lost and protects the
film from tearing. This Swiss precision-crafted pro-
jector not only gives your films a brilliant, profes-
sional showing- but .protects them from the heat,
dirt and breakage that can destroy costly, irreplace-
able footage. The advanced cooling system prevents
burning or drying out no matter how long the pro-
jection time. Simplified "snap" threading reduces
film handling to a minimum. The gate can be
cleaned even while the film is running!
Light in weight (only 17 pounds with carrying
case), the M-8 has a handsome new ultra-modern
two-tone styling with electrostatic finish.
Simple controls permit accurate framing, leveling,
focusing, speed adjustment. Direct, all-gear drive
for smooth, quiet running. Extra rapid rewind-400
feet in 15 seconds. Single control operates motor,
lamp,

NEW BOLEX SVNCHROMAT
The new easy way to synchronize words and music
with 8mm films! Extremely simple to run, this new
Bolex unit synchronizes your Bolex M-8 projector
with any horizontal drive tape recorder. It even
enables you to add commentary and music to your
old and new movies.
The Synchromat is an electro-mechanical device
that you simply insert between your recorder and
your projector. Setting it up is easy. You just pass
the tape on your recorder through a roller on the
Synchromat.
You start and stop your projector and lamp with
the same button that starts your tape recorder. The
Synehromat automatically keeps your M-8 projec-
tor and your tape recorder in perfect synchroniza-
tion. Ask your Bolex dealer to show you how easy
it is to enjoy fine 8mm sound movies with the new
Synchromat.
