On the day of inspection the applicant is required to supply the inspector with a man to read the play book and a motion picture operator, who has ability to operate Komitsu’s Royal Motion Picture Machine. If there is no portion of the film which has been cut off after the inspection, have the inspector write in and seal on both copies of play book and one copy shall be kept by the Department of Home Affairs and one returned to the applicant. The applicant must submit a copy of play book to the Measurement Room again to have the seal of the Department of Home Affairs affixed to it and the number of its reels and the number of its metres written in and the stamp of approval stamped in the book. Thus completes the inspection of the film and the play book.

If the film is one which has been purchased or transferred from another person, the application must be accompanied by a letter of acceptance from the maker or the importer and a special care should be taken with a film manufactured by a maker in foreign country who has a branch office in Japan, as the foreign film is apt to give rise to troublesome matter.

(f) . Inspection of talkies ( sound films). As the Department of Home Affairs installed a sound projector in December 1929, talkies can be inspected without any trouble, but it is necessarily required to submit play books with the pronounciation of all the words used in the book recorded in them.
