should get your film back in a few days. The purchase price of the film also includes the cost of processing and return postage. Some film makers provide a negative and return both the negative and a positive print after processing. Again let it be emphasized that the carton should contain your name and address printed in plain block letters. That is the only record of ownership the processing station pos- sesses, since the owner’s name is not written on the reel or paper leader. The film itself is usually perforated with a number and the same number is perforated on the box con- taining your name and address. In this way the processing station can keep a record of the film and return it to the proper owner after processing. DUPLICATES OF REVERSAL FILM—Any number of cop- ies of negative film may be made by a processing station. So also with the reversal film, but it is recommended that the movie maker send films for duplicating before the original film has been shown too many times, otherwise there might be ir- reparable scratches upon it. All 16mm. cameras, with the exception of some foreign makes, are built to take film lengths of 50 and 100 feet. Whichever roll you are using, be sure to set the indicator arm inside the camera to accommodate that particular roll. Also watch the footage indicator if you are using a 50-foot roll, as the starting mark appears half way down the meter. If a 50- foot roll is used, make certain that a 50-foot take-up spool is employed. Do not use a 100-foot take-up reel as this causes considerable confusion at the processing station. Each new camera comes equipped with both the 50 and 100-foot empty aluminum spools for use with either footage. WHY FILM JAMS—Some of the causes of film jamming in the camera are: 1. The operator has failed to follow the guide lines in the camera and has made the upper and lower loops too short. 2. Film has unraveled on feed reel or has failed to ride on guides. 3. The operator has failed to see that the film perforations are being engaged properly by the sprocket teeth and riding smoothly through the gate. 15
