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.
KODASCOPE SOUNDON-FILM MOTION PICTURES
Kodascope Talking (Sound-on-Film) Pictures are made only on slow-burning film 16 mm (5^ inch) in width, which is free from insurance restrictions and does not require a fireproof booth.
A full reel of Kodascope Talking Film is approximately 400 feet in length and has the same number of "frames" or pictures as a standard 1000-foot reel of theatrical (35 mm) size film. It requires the same length of time for projection at normal speed — 11 minutes.
Explanation of Film Service Charge
Base rentals are charged for films used any one day — Monday to Friday inclusive ; 20% extra if for use on a week-end or holiday.
It is quite evident that the Kodascope Libraries cannot afford the transportation charges and loss of time incidental to furnishing a program to a user in a distant city, for the same price that it would receive from each of two or more local users who could use it during the same period of time.
For points outside of any Library city, but within its first, second or third postal zones (0-300 miles). 10% is added to the base rate (unless carried by user in both directions). For points in the fourth and fifth zones (300-10(X) miles), 20% is added to the base rate.
Surcharge for distance is figured from the nearest Branch Library, irrespective of whether the program is furnished from that Library or from a more distant one.
For reels held more than one day, in any zone, add 50% to the base rate for each extra day held, whether used or not.
At above rates, transportation by parcel post is paid by Kodascope Libraries in both directions. No extra charge is made for days in transit.
