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.
Subscribers will obtain greater satisfaction in the regular weekly use of a certain number of reels than in the desultory or occasional use of an irregular number.
Five reels make a very popular program. Most of the features are of that length, and will not be divided. Also, with five reels an excellent miscellaneous program can be selected, covering a variety of subjects. For special occasions, programs of any length can be obtained.
If for any reason, Subscribers having legular weekly service wish to suspend one or more shipments, it is only necessary to advise the Librarian to that effect, before the scheduled shipments are made.
Explanation of Film Service Charges
The principal item of expense to a Film Library is the replacement of the film. The continuous use of a Library film causes it gradually to wear out. This wear may not be apparent for a long time, but eventually those films — new today — will have to be replaced by the Library with new ones. Therefore, rental charges must cover the inspection, repair and eventual replacement.
It is quite evident that the Kodascope Library in New York cannot aflford the transportafion charges and loss of time incidental to furnishing a program to a Subscriber in a distant city (requiring nearly two weeks in transit), for the same price that it could furnish the same program to each of three or more New York Subscribers who could use it during the same period of time.
Therefore, the charges for film service at present depend on the Subscriber's distance from the nearest Library.
The basing rate shown in this catalog is for one day's use within the city limits in which the Library is located.
For reels held more than one day, in any zone, add 50% to the basing rate for each extra day held, whether used or not. (See "Films Ordered for Particular Date" on page 6.)
For points outside of any Library city but in the first and second postal zones (0-150 miles), add 10% to the basing rate.
For points in the third zone (150-300 miles), add 25% to the basing rate.
For the fourth zone (300-600 miles), add 50% to the basing rate.
• For the fifth zone (600-1,000 miles), add 75% to the basing rate
For the sixth to eighth zones, double the basing rate.
At the rates quoted for the various postal zones, Kodascope Libraries make no charge for loss of time in transit and rentals are charged for reels only while in Subscriber's possession.
Transportation by parcel post will be paid by the Kodascope Libraries in both directions.
A minimum charge of $1,50 vnll be made for any Film Service rendered.
Note : Minor repairs, such as breaks, cleaning, etc., will be made by the Kodascope Libraries without charge, but serious injury will be charged to th(; Subscriber.
