Yes, standardized projection was long since avaialble. Less routinely
available for lower-budget films was standardized electric photography.
Spring-wound motors and hand-cranked cameras were common still. I don't
have the work in my possession but Barry Salt's book on film technology
could answer these questions definitively, and the Bordwell, Staiger,
Thompson now-standard reference work, _The Classical Hollywood Cinema_ has
that info., too. But these factors are important to remember, I think, and
that's a point Salt makes particularly well.
