352 J. I. CRABTREE AND C. E. IVES [J. S. M. P. E. FIG. 2. The patch with and without finger tab. in engagement with the four pins. The splice is placed at or near the center of the block. The pins fit the perforations so closely that pressure clips for holding the film in place are unnecessary. When the film is in position on the block the patch is picked up and held at one end by means of tweezers or an attached tab while cement is applied to the side which is to come in contact with the film strip. The cement application is accomplished by a single stroke of a soft cementing brush of medium size. The patch is placed immediately on the registration pins, the pressure plate brought down, and held in position for about five seconds. FIG. 3. Registration block showing film and patch in position on pins.
