Example of Operating Work Schedule. Explanation of Fig. 6 Line at left shows film-splicing order as assigned by the video-control supervisor; during this time segment all film is on one reel with black leader spliced in as indicated by wavy line (number of seconds of black leader indicated by adjacent number). Black leader provides time to stop and start projector for station identification, commercial or another program. The Sponsored Announcement (20-sec duration) at 9:29:30 is a film (F) and the audio is sound on film (SOF). The Station Identification is from a slide (XA-2) with an aural announcement from the announce booth microphone (BM). It is projected while a 6-sec black leader, spliced between the sponsored announcement and the feature film, is run through the film projector and is stopped. The opening live commercial is done on one camera (1 Cam) with a studio microphone (SM) and an electrical transcription ET672 for a theme. The film feature is started on a cue from the Program Director and runs until 9:43 when a 6-sec black leader provides time to stop and start the projector for a one-minute film commercial in film camera 2 having sound on film (SOF). The close of the program is also live and another 6-sec stop down black leader provides time to stop and start the projector. Following the closing live commercial, the projector is again started on cue to present a 20-sec sponsored announcement, a 10-sec sponsored station identification both with sound on film (SOF) and the next feature film. At approximately 10 : 16 a 6sec black leader provides time for stopping and starting the projector for a live oneminute commercial requiring 2 cameras and a microphone boom. Following the commercial, the film feature is resumed on cue from the Program Director, and at its conclusion, a slide XB37 in camera 2 and a sign off slide XA-2 in camera 1 with audio from the Booth Microphone is utilized.
