We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.
found on the projector spool-arms. 8-mm. and 16-mm. are exactly the same and spools in these gauges may be used on the same rewinder. But a different rewinder will be needed for 9.5-mm. size spools.
A bi-film rewinder is one on which both 9.5-mm. and 16-mm. spools may be used.
Splicers
A Splicer is used for correctly joining together two pieces of film, and good ones are provided with an attachment for scraping the emulsion from the film. The majority also include a part for cutting the film, either at an angle or straight across. Joins made at an angle are considerably stronger than transverse joins, and help to reduce the faint "plop" sometimes heard when the join passes through the soundhead. (The correct method of joining films is described in the chapter on Film Care.)
As with other modern accessories, splicers are now made for use with any of the different film sizes or for a combination of sizes. A universal splicer is one on which the film-locating pins are so arranged that films of 8, 9.5 or 16-mm. may be used.
Cables and Connectors
Cables and plugs should always be clean and dry, and the insulation periodically examined and repaired. The mains cable should not consist of a length of 5-amp lighting flex; power cable should be used (Fig. 11). Cables should be coiled in such
