Before connecting YOUI' proiector to the mains
Be,for,e the proje'ctor to the mains, please refer
to your electricity meter to check up on your mains supply.
The EUMIG P 8 AUTOM,ATIC "NOVOII will ope-rate only
on 11 Q.--220 volt (110-240 A. C. (50--60 cycles). The
voltage selector A (Fig. 4) above the rna-ins socket is nor-
mally set to 220 volts. If you do not have 220 volt current,
you must adjust the voltage selector by f'urning it until the
correct voltage is opposite the wh ite dot Before you reset the
voltage selectnr, you must disconne-ct the mains lead. Now
swing out both spool arms as indicated (Fig. 4).
You can now connect the P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO" to the
mains by inserting the female plug of the- mains lead supplied
into socket B (Fig. 4). Ple'ase notice the connection for room
lighting C (Fig. 4). We suggest that you connect a table lamp
or small stondord lomp tn socket C. The lamp goes out auto-
matically when the projector is switched on and comes on
aga,in when the projector is switched off.
Set the speed control 0 fully to the right (maximum speed)
and switch on motor and projection lamp at the' same t'ime
by means of switch E (Fig. In order to obtain the
corre,ct running spe,ed, shift control D as far to the, I,eft as
will be possible without any flicker appe,aring in the pro-
iect'ed image.
Switch F operates the forward-reverse mechanism. There is
more about this on Page 14 "Reverse projection".
The two scre'w feet G are for tilting the projector.
In order to comply with regulations in various countries
regarding the earthing of electrical appliances, the P 8

Your EUMIG P 8 AUTO,MATIC "NOVO" projector has been fitted w,ith 0 12 V
100 W iodine-quartz lamp in our works. Should you need to fit a new lamp:
1. Lift off the cover of the lamp housing (Fig. 6) and pull out the cover plate at
the' side (F'ig. 7). The lamp can then be re'moved.
Warning! The' lamp becomes ve'ry hot durin,g use, and the' glass will then
be a reddish-blue colour. When changing the lamp, wait until it has cooled
off and this colour has faded away.
2. Take the new lamp from its packing, leaving the p1rotective sleeve in place,
and fit it into the projector so that the two locating pins (which carry the
power supply) are pushed firmly home. Remove the protective sl,e,eve, taking
care not to lo:osen the lamp in its holder.
Im,po:rtant: The la,mp glass m'ust not be touche,d with the' bar;e fing,ers, as traces
of the subst'ances secreted by the skin will then be baked onto the surface,
shortening the' life of the lamp and reducing its light output. If the surface is
touched accidentally/it should be wiped clean immediately with a clean rag
dipped in spirit.
3. Repl'Oce the cover of the lamp ho,using (Fig. 8) and push the side cover plate
in enough to I'eave the' two lamp-centring screws A and Bvisible (Fig. 7). Scre'w
A shifts the lamp along its optical axis, while screw B provides sideways
adjustment.
4. Switch on the projector and turn screW A with 'a coin or screwdriver until the
lamp filament' can be clearly se'en on the, projection scre'en as a series of dark
bors. Use scre,w B to move the lamp side1ways until the, image of the' filament
is evenly spread allover' the' screen; then turn screw A again until the bars
disappear completely leaving the scre1en evenly illuminated.
5. Push the cover plate home.
This centring operation needs to be carried out only once for each lamp.

New EUMI1G automatic film threading on the P 8 AUTOMATIC IINOVO"
Automa!tic threading f'ight ontOI the talke-up spool
Having trained your P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO" on the screen and set the projector to
the correct height, you can proceed to thread the film. An error-free functioning of the
automatic threader is only then guaranteed when the film end has been properly prepared,
that is, trimmed in the correct way. Fig. 9 shows how the correctly trimmed film end should
look like. Take good care that the perforaHon C is not damaged by the trimming.
NOTE: For the preservation of your valuable film we recommend the splicing on of a
long leader. As, for a perfect functioning of the automatic threader it is essential to have
an absolutely straight end to the film, creased or half-torn film ends must be cut off or
made perfectly smooth.
Fit the 'automatic spool' onto the spool-arm. The peg on the spool-arm should engage in
the hole in the' spool centre, and the key on the peg will fit into one of the t'hre1e
,
radi,al
slots. These slots are provided on one side of the 'automatic spool' only, so that it cannot
be fitted the wrong way round. Now unhinge the threading lever of the supporting knob
which is on the proje1ctor casing and move' the same downwards in arrow direcf'ion so
that it meets the spool cente'r (Fig. 10).
Take care that the slider E (Fig. 24, page 15) is on the upper stop; this position prevents
lateral sliding of the film out of the threading lever.

The film then disengages from the autom,atic mechanism. After
having set lever C to point D, the film may be re-inserted in the
automatic threader.

wound on to the take-up Only when the film
has be'en run through once normally and sub-
sequently rewound will it come off the spool in
such a way (see Sketch II, 11) that revelrse pro-
jection is possible.
After the film hlas hitched automatically at the take-
up spool, turn the lever C to the' left (F,jg. 13).
This locks the film transport and frees the loops
which have been formed the automatic threader.
Fig. 13
The P 8 AUTOM,ATIC "NOVO" can alsO' be thre'aded by hand. This may be necessary when it is desired to proje'ct
a piece of film somewhere in the middle of the spool. For this purpose, first unscrew the automatic threader (see
Fig. 2, Page 4, for position of this screw), next' unwind a sufficient length of film, open the' g'ate' by turning lever A
downwards (see Fig. 14), thre!ad the' film and close the g'ate by moving the iever back. Do not put the' gat'e-opening
lever completely over to the right - this would switch on the rewind mechanism.
After the loop has been shaped by following the- line indicated on the side' of the projector, the film is led past
the feed sprocket. Pull gently as indicated in Fig. 15, and the perforations will be engaged by the teeth of the
feed sprocket. Lead the film past the take-up sprocket in the same way (see' Fig. 16). Then le'ad the film under the
guide ro.lfers and fix to the spool on the' take-up arm -- if it is the- beginning of the film which is being thre'aded
At the rear of the projector is the knob for manual ope ration of the projector mechanism (Fig. 21, Page 14). This
feature enables you to ensure before showing your film to an O'udienc:e that the dow is transporting the film
correctly.

The' P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO" is now ready for
projection. Switch on by means of switch E, as de-
scribed in "Automatic threading of the film" on
Page 10. The table lamp connected to the projector
wil go out. First determine the desired
scre,en picture size by holding the lens with the left
hand, by the knurled ring, while the right hand is
grosping the front rim (the ring be,aring the in-
scription) and pulling out the tube in the direction
of the projection. Then focus by rotating the lens to
the right or left. Picture size and focus are, of
course, also adjustable during projection. Adjust
the running speed if neC8ss'ary with the speed
control A (Fig. 17) until all flicker disappears.
NOTE: During the short time taken by the auto-
matic threading of the film, the projector noise is
slightly louder than during the actual projection.
In order to pro,tect the film, a speci,al gold-glass
heat absorbing filter is automotically interpos'ed
bet'ween the lamp and the film when the projector
is switched on, remaining in position until the nor-
mal speed has been reached. This filter is also
interposed as soon as the speed drops to below
10 frames per second.
If parts of two frames are' shown on the sere'en,
turn knob B until this fault disappears.

If you are expecting guests, it is advisable to have a trial run to make any
necessary adjustments for picture size, focus, speed and framing. Then aH you
have to do is to switch on the At the end of the performance, you
switch off the projector, and the table lamp will automatically come on
Fig. 18 shows the relationship between picture size and screen distance when
using the focal lengths range of the EUPRO-ZOOM lens (15-25 mm.).
Visible reverse pro'iection
The P 8 AUTOtMATIC "NOVO
II
also permits reverse projection. To switch over
from forward to reverse, simply move switch A (Fig. 19). There is no need to
switch off the projector beforehand. During the short t:ime the film slows
stops, and begins to run a shutter automatically cuts off the light to
protect the film from damage. This moves out of the optical path again once the
film has reached the requi,red running speed. After switching from forward to
reverse projection or vice versa, it may be necessary to readjust the fr'aming.
Still proiection
Still projection serves for obseirving individual frame's of a film. In this case,
back switch B as shown in Fig. 20. This automatically introduces the special
goldgl,ass heat filter into the system, noticeable by the drop in the pro-
jected image brilliance. On to still proje,ction, the rotating projector
shutter may occasionally stop in front of the film gate and so obscure the pic-
ture. In that case, turn knob C 21) at the rear of the projector until the
r"O,r'IIIIt"a.rl fr'ame appe'ars on the scre,en. This knob also serves to move the film
forward and backward, frame for selecting any particular single frame.

Rewinding
is a very simple and with the EUMIG P 8
AUTOMATIC "NOVO" as the proie-clor has power rewind.
You will find this a great with the large 400 ft. re-e,ls.
When the trailer has complete,ly run through, lelad the film
directly from the take-up to the feed spool and fix it to the
latter. Then 'turn lever D as for forward as it will go, which
couples the rewind me,chanism, and the film will be rewound
quickly. When is almost complete, it is ad'VISI(]Olle
to reduce the spe'ed means of the motor control.
For rewinding, sw'itch A must be s,et to "Forward". Should
you have set it to "Reverse" by mistake and on the
rewind mechanism, the projector motor will run, but the take-
up spool will not revolve.
If you des,ire to rewind in the middle of the
at first press the slider E in the di-rection of the' arrow. Then
take off the open the gate,
remove the film from the fie;ed and
take-up sprockets marked "XII.
then is it as decribe-d
above.
NOTE: Before re-setting the automatic the slider E
must again be into its initial position.
If you should have occasion to replace' one of the wire drive belts A, or B, first of 'all put the gate-opening lever
as far over to the right as .jt will go, as if you were' going to rewind.
To replace the drive belt (, first set' the! still proje'ction lever to "Still". You can now fit the helt, putting it first over
the uppe'r and then over the' low'er roller.

Caire, alnd maintena:nce of the P 8 AUTOMATIC "NOVO"
Keep the projector scrupulously clean, e'speci,ally those
parts that come into contact with the' film. First unscrew
the automatic threader'. To facilitate cleaning the,gate',
the lens mount can be swung out to the right by turning
the g'af'e-opening lever after having disconnected the
mains lead. Both the gate and the interchangeable lens
mus;t be de'aned from time tOI time, 'with a soft doth or
brush. Any dirt' or film dust should be re,moved f'rom the'
gate, with a wooden skewer or' some such object'. Ple'ase
do not 'use, any meral ohje,ct' for this purpose -it would
scratch the gate, and thus damage your fi.lms.
Ke,ep your films alw'ays clean I This prevents to the best
'e'xoe'ssive spoiling of the above' mentioned parts. Me'ans
for cleaning available with your photographic de'aler.
The projector has, life,-Iong lubrication and it requires no
attention whatsoe,ver in this respect.
If necessary, the motor carbons can easily be removed
for cleaning. Simply loosen the screw of the lowe,r carbon
on the base of the projector with a coin. In orde'r to re-
move the upper carbon, loosen first the locking screw
(Fig. 3, page 5) and open the, side wall of the projector.
