*From the [[Century]] Projector Manual: "''Rotation of the FRAME knob on the front of the projector causes the intermittent to move up and down. Observe the upper and lower limits of intermittent travel, and position the intermittent at the center of its travel. This will insure adequate movement up or down to correct accidental misframes. Always "center" the intermittent in this manner before threading.''" | *From the [[Century]] Projector Manual: "''Rotation of the FRAME knob on the front of the projector causes the intermittent to move up and down.

*If you are working with a [[Simplex XL]] you'll noticed the intermittent does not move up and down like the Century, but rotates. The same principle applies, position the intermittent at the center of its rotation, make sure the intermittent is in a neutral position, and then thread the film. | *If you are working with a [[Simplex XL]] you'll noticed the intermittent does not move up and down like the Century, but rotates.
