[[File:Simplex Platter.JPG|right|thumb|400px|A Simplex 35 PR-1014 configured for use with a platter system in a [[multiplex]]. The reel arms are bypassed by guide rollers. There are two guide rollers on the upper arm, one for directing film to the projector from the Strong platter system pictured behind it, and a second to guide film in from another projector when the two are interlocked. A Kelmar cue detector/failsafe is mounted beneath the soundhead.]] | |||
