Back then, the film was run on a projector that was aimed into the film camera thru mirrors. There were usually at least 2 projectors, and a slide projector running through a multiplexer on each camera. Local TV stations got 16mm films until the early 1980's when the distributors started offering the shows on 2" tape, then 1" tape.

Our film cameras were 4-tube models. Red, Blue, and Green, with a monochrome tube for contrasts. They looked very good. I still have video tapes made on them.
