(37) It is impossible to make a really good splice with the unaided hands for the reason that the film, most probably, will not be cut square or have a correct stub Fig. 58. — Samples of inefficient stub-end scraping. They are all parts of film splices made in projection rooms. end length ; also the pressure will certainly not be evenly applied. An efficient mechanical splicer cuts both ends perfectly square and cuts the stub end at precisely the correct length. It applies ample, evenly distributed pressure and automatically matches the sprocket holes perfectly.
