If I was home I'd show you pictures of my Son doing just that, when he was 13 years old... he did the Roxy and the Drive-in from 12 until he was in his late 30's when the Drive in closed up. We have two 35mm projectors in the basement, a marine container full of refreshment stand crap, all the Die Hard reels, probably a dozen more movies, the bugs bunny reels and the "hot dog jumped into the bun" and engagement ring store reels in the cold cellar.

My grandfather was a motion picture projectionist for most of his working life. Very interesting equipment and technologies over the years.

Two projectors installed in a changeover configuration. The machine in the background will show the first reel, at the end of which the projectionist will 'change over' to reel 2, which is threaded on the projector in the foreground. If the procedure is performed correctly, the audience will be unaware that it has happened.

If you watch the old movies, you'll see a symbol appear in the upper corner warning the projectionist that a reel change was coming, a second symbol seconds later told him when to make the change.
