Thus, if an order were placed for 2000 ft., of which 1200 ft. would be provided in "lab packing" in 400-ft. rolls, and the remainder in 200-ft. daylight loading spools, the order might specif}* : "EK5264-mazda-single perf : 1200 ft. in 400-ft, rolls lab packing; remainder on 200-ft. daylight-loading spools. Total — 2000 ft." The order should be written in very clear language, since it is general trade custom that special orders are not subject to return for credit or subject to caneellation.
Film purchases should be planned and orders placed as far ahead as possible. Although film deliveries are usually quite prompt in times of

Many commercial film laboratories do not have facilities for edgenumbering or for printing edge-numbers. For this reason it is quite important to determine whether such facilities are available and just what they are before production of a film is begun. Such preparation will avoid or at least anticipate difficulties encountered in editing. Such difficulties almost invariably result in a costly waste of time, or an inferior editing job, or both.
When the work print is received from the laboratory, a shot list (Fig. 75) is usually prepared with the exact footage and frame numbers marked
