For those interested, back before the 1950s most motion picture film stock could catch fire if jammed in the hot film gate.
As the film burned closer to the rollers, the rollers would close automatically preventing further travel of the flame to the reels.
Some people took them out in later years but this can cause the film to rub on other parts of the projector, scratching the film.
