Abstract

A sound-cinecamera comprising a motor for driving a capstan at uniform velocity, a motor for feeding a film intermittently, a detecting switch for detecting any superfluity or insufficiency of the film feed by said film-feeding motor relative to the film feed by said capstan driving motor and generating corresponding sag-signals, a speed-controlling circuit connected to said film-feeding motor and comprising a tachometer generator for maintaining the stability of the speed of said motor, and a sag-detecting circuit comprising said detecting switch, said sag-detecting circuit being connected to the power source of said film-feeding motor and the output thereof is connected to the controlling means of said speed-controlling circuit through a delay circuit, whereby said sag-signals generated by said detecting switch are transmitted to said controlling means independently of said speed-controlling circuit for regularizing fluctuations in the number of revolution of said film-feeding motor arising from fluctuations in voltage of said power source of the film-feeding motor and fluctuations in load of the film.
