B & H Automatic Combination 163 5 mm. ♦ Film Splicer ♦ ♦ Bell & Howell Standard Film Splicing Machines are well-known for the quick, permanent splice which they make — a splice which does not affect film flexibility or encroach upon picture space. A film joined on a B & H Splicer is perfectly welded in accurate alignment, eliminating misframes and other evils of inferior patching. With its new style cutter blades, and the heating unit which maintains at a steady temperature all parts of the machine with which film comes in contact, the B & H Splicer does its work at highest efficiency. The new safety lock grounded plug more than meets the rigid requirements of insurance underwriters. The Model No. 6 Film Splicer, a standard 35 mm. positive splicer, is equipped with disappearing pilots for splicing 16 mm. film. These pilot pins are set diagonally, producing the B & H 16 mm. diagonal splice with nearly 30% more bonding surface than a right angle splice. A lever drops the 16 mm. pins out of sight for 35 mm. splicing. Write for catalog. B & H 16 mm. Contact Printer ♦ An adaptation of the famous Bell & Howell Standard Continuous Model "D" Film Printer, the B & H 16 mm. Contact Printer has every advantage and distinctive feature of the 35 mm. model. Creepage or slipping is wholly overcome, film is controlled at printing aperture; precision mechanism assures perfect film movement and protects film from abrasion, film contact at aperture is achieved, lighting is mechanically controlled, framing is unnecessary. If desired at any time, this machine may be changed back to a regular 35 mm. sound or silent printer. Write for data on special printers of any type.
