The Money-Makers
FILMLINE'S professional color film processors
for motion picture laboratories.
The Filmline Models FE-30 and FE-50 are fast, foolproof, troublefree and long-lasting. They turn out con¬
sistently superior work. The design is backed by Filmline's reputation as the world's leading manufacturer
of film processors for the motion picture laboratory industry.
Now enjoy the benefits of professional equipment incorporating exclusive Filmline features that have paced
the state-of-the-art in commercial, industrial and defense installations at a cost lower than processors
offering less.
Check the exclusive Filmline features below:

*"FILMLINE OVERDRIVE FILM TRANSPORT SYSTEM"
This marvel of engineering completely eliminates
film breakage, pulled perforations, scratches and
operator error. The film can be deliberately
stalled in the machine without film breakage or
significant change of film footage in solutions.
The heart of any film processor is the drive
system. No other film drive system such as
sprocket drive, bottom drive or simple clutch
drives with floating lower assemblies can give
you the performance capability of the unique
Filmline Overdrive Film Transport System.
* "TORQUE MOTOR TAKE-UP" gives you constant film
take-up and does not impose any stress or strain
on the film itself. Completely independent of the
film transport system. This FILMUNE feature is
usually found in professional commercial pro¬
cessors but is incorporated on the FE-30 and

FE-50 models as
settle for less!

* "TEMP-GUARD" positive temperature control sys¬
tem. Completely transistorized circuitry insures
temperature control to well within processing
tolerances. Temp-Guard controls temperatures ac¬
curately and without the problems of other
systems of lesser sophistication.
*"TURBO-FLOW" impingement dryer. Shortens dryto-dry time, improves film results, and carefully
controls humidity content of your valuable (and
sometimes rare) originals. Immediate projection
capability is assured because the film dries flat
without the usual curl associated with other
film processors.
"ZERO DOWN TIME" The reputation of any film
processor is only as good as its reliability. The

Additional Features

combination of the exclusive and special added
Filmline features guarantees trouble-free opera¬
tion with absolute minimum down-time and with¬
out continual operator adjustments. Recapture
your original investment in 2 years on mainten¬
ance savings alone. Filmline's "Push the button
and walk-away processing" allows inexperienced
operators to turn out highest quality film.
*"MATERIALS, CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN" All
Filmline machines are constructed entirely of
metal and tanks are type 316 stainless steel,
heliarc welded to government specifications. The
finest components available are used and rigid
quality control standards are maintained.
Compare Filmline features to other processors
costing more money. Feature-by-feature, a careful
evaluation will convince you that Filmline offers
you more for your investment.
