Splicer for 8mm to 70mm Film Using Mylar Tape
A NEW MODEL film spliccr, non-magnetic and designed to accommodate any film si/e from 8mm to 70mm, and using Mylar splicing tape instead of cement, has been announced by the Ace Electric Manufacturing Company, New York. It is now in production and will be
available for national distribution in October. The new model has a redesigned rigid base and a non-warping Lucite pressure plate to permit unobstructed visibility during the splicing operation.
Film edge guides and blade slots are milled to close tolerances to achieve the greatest possible degree of accuracy, the announcement points out, while cutting blades are heat-treated stainless steel. A piano hinge runs the full length of the splicer for accurate alignment. Blade carriers, set into the pressure plate, are freerunning and return to safe rest position automatically when the plate is raised. Pins conform to SMPTE standards for film cutting— straight cut or diagonal, with perforation dimensions for standard and CinemaScope film.
The new model has a thumbscrew arrangement in the base which, when turned, recedes the pins (one line or all) into the base, out of the way to facilitate operation regardless of the type or size of film. On both sides of the working plate are hinged arms which come down when the cover is dropped, remaining in down position when the cover is raised. This holds the film down so that work is uninterrupted until the editing and splicing processes are completed.
