  • "The Supermatic 70 is Kodak's compromise between a conventional pro-jector and a continuous-loop cartridge projector. It accepts film in Kodak Supermatic cassettes, and projects them onto either a built-in Ektalite screen or a standard wall screen using just one lens. It has high speed automatic rewind through the gate, and is ready to restart moments after show-ing the film. It has still frame, auto-matic or manual gain control, and a VU meter" (American Cinematographer, November 1975).
