Two Excellent Splicers
Editing and splicing being dealt with in another portion of this issue, readers will no doubt be interested in the two )iliotographs of the Craig Kiiniii. [ilicers known resj^ectively as tlif Si-iiior and Junior models. The Craig film splicer, which has a deservedly high reputation, is so designed that splicing can be carried out in comfort with both accuracy and rapidity, and we ha\'e frequently made splices with this apparatus in less than half a minute from the time the two broken pieces of film were first placed in the device to the time when the film was ready for projection again, using a rapid drying cement. The action of the apparatus is ([uite simple and the procedure is as follows.
The two broken ends of the film are placed one on each side of the device and clamped down over guide pins. The central portion or flap is then pulled over and sheai-s both sides at once leaving, on the lefthand portion, a strip of film ready for scraping. T?ie scraper, which is of the dry type, is pivotted on the top of the left-hand portion and being brought over is rubbed backwards and forwards on the exposed film. After a few rubs the emulsion is

removed, whereupon a thin layer of cement is painted on the exposed part. The right-hand portion of the splicer (carrying the second half of the film) is then slid to the left and brought down upon the left-hand part, thus bringing the two pieces of film together. A spring clip holds the two {)ieces firmly in contact, and after a few seconds the flaps can be lifted and the now accurately spliced film removed.
The Craig Senior splicer has hitherto been sold at £4 10s., but the price has now been reduced to £3 3s., which
should considerably increase its popularity.
The Craig Jimior splicer, which is a smaller and simplified edition of the other model, sells for 30s., and while not so refined in its construction, still gives perfectly accurate splices very conveniently. The procedure is somewhat different, the two films being placed in sliding clips and the two ends cut simultaneously by bringing down the cutter. Scraping is now done on the exposed portion by means of a scraping blade provided (it is held in the hand' in
