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.

When film is returned, the shipper makes out a form called FILM RETURN SLIP (form No. 75) on which he shows theatre name, the print number as well as the subject returned. This form goes to the IN AND OUT clerk who makes the proper entries therefrom. Then the film is turned over to a film inspector who makes out a FILM INSPECTION SLIP (form No. 79) noting the condition of each reel and signing her name to it. After repairing any breaks, etc., the film is put in the vault ready for the next shipment. The inspection slips are given to the manager, who should go over them daily, to note any abuse or destruction of film by an exhibitor.
FORD CONTRACTS
As no prints are given out unless the exhibitor has contracted for them and no contract is accepted unless the exhibitor has paid the amount stipulated, it follows that there will be no accounts receivable on Ford releases. As in accordance with the agreement no part of the subscription is to be refunded to an exhibitor irrespective of whether he uses service or not, it follows that payments made by him in advance of service do not constitute a liability, and are not to be considered as a credit balance. Consequently it is not necessary to open a ledger account for Ford service in order to show debits or credits as no charges are to be made on account thereof. Instead of ledger sheets, use form No. 154 — CONTRACT ANALYSIS SHEET.
The release numbers for Second Year Fords should be filled in beginning with No. 183. The fifty-two releases should then be separated into five sub-divisions (the first four of 10 pictures each and the last of 12 pictures) by drawing a line under release numbers 192, 202, 212 and 222. This will indicate the method of instalment payments to be followed by the exhibitor.
In accordance with the contract the exhibitor is to pay for the first ten and last twelve releases when contract is signed. Consequently you enter in the "Remarks" column the date and amount received namely : $10. on the same line as release No. 183 which covers releases No. 183 to 192 inclusive, and $12. on the same line as release No. 223 which covers releases No. 223 to 234 inclusive.
