BELL & HOWELL'S
STANDARD FILM SPLICING MACHINES
Regular B. & H. Splicer, Models i to 9, with single table, set up with rewinders for operation
BELL & HOWELL Standard Film Splicing Machines splice film quickly and permanently without adversely affecting its flexibility or encroaching upon the picture space. They eliminate definitely appreciable wastes of time and money byvery substantially reducing overhead costs and minimising film mutilation, thus insuring accuracy and efficiency in the processing and exhibition of motion picture film. They are indispensable units for the modern laboratory and film exchange.
More than twenty years ago the Bell & Howell Company introduced these splicing machines. Since then, B. & H. Splicers have established themselves as the world's standard and as such are being used today by the largest producers and exchanges, as well as by a great majority of the up-to-date motion picture laboratories, throughout the world.
Operation is conducted at an efficiency increase of from 100 per cent upward over that of any known film splicing practice, with a corresponding degree of improvement in quality of output. Their celerity of operation and nicety of results in making perfect and permanent splices in the aim are important factors.
Efficiency, safety, uniformly superior quality, greatly increased output, and cleanliness are distinguishing points of merit of these Splicers. Their interchangeability for negative or positive splicing, to give any desired width of splice, and their special attachments for variable frame line splicing and for splicing of unperforated raw film stock firmly establish their versatility and applicability for film splicing of every nature.
Splices made by means of the 13. & H. Splicer leave the film as pliable at the point of splice as at any other, and these splices are automatically located in proper relation to the picture frame lines and perforations. This automatic accuracy eliminates all misframes and prevents other similar evils so long identified with the faulty hand patch. A joined print is perfectly welded in accurate alignment and registration, thereby insuring uninterrupted projection and prolonging the life of the film.
Remarkable and complete as was their original design, B. & H. Splicers have been improved recently as the result of further research and experience, with the result that present models are capable of handling all classes of modern work with a maximum of efficiency and dispatch. The illustration shows how the regular (single table) model appears in use.
