Abstract From the Canadian patent

A continuous motion film projector having a simple cam operated mirror for frame movement compensation. The mirror mechanism and accordingly the film frames are exceptionally small and the film is brought extremely close to the mirror. Typically the film frame size is 2.1 mm and the film is 6.5 mm from the mirror. This gives particular advantages which make it possible to make a practical shutterless and light efficient projector.
