Slightly off topic, but...

That would only change the amount of frame advancement that the specially designed intermittent uses.  

We had a 3 projector/sound donkey Cinerama house that was pretty much laid waste by the time I saw it. It looked as though someone had disassembled the 3 booths and just left every laying around on the floor and taking up more space than they would have if simply left intact. 
I did maintain the 35/70 mm Norelco machines and Simplex XL sound gear that were installed after the 3 machine system was made obsolete.   

I attended the one of the Dayton shows and although the prints were badly faded, it was still very impressive!

It may have run at a non-standard speed because Cinerama frames are six 
perforations high instead of four.  There are a number of Cinerama 
collectors, and one had a set-up in a Dayton, Ohio theatre where 
original prints were shown each weekend for about 6 years.
