Easy as making children's cutouts
Cutting the film with the famous B & H Splicer. Note the pilot pins that hold film in the correct position, and the simplicity of the operation.
Spreading a layer of film cement on the film, preparatory to pressing the ends together with the clamp.
(At right) B &> H Film Cement, identified by the blue and gold label, was especially developed for most effective splicing of safety film. Contains only highest quality chemicals. Furnished in 1 ounce nontipping bottle with combination cork and brush. One bottle is furnished with each splicer outfit. Additional bottles, 25 cents.
(At left) The Cooke 15 mm. f/2.5 Lens in Focusing Mount — a new Cooke lens (pictured above) which is even more useful than the Cooke IS mm. //2.5 universal fociu lens, a most popular unit since its announcement last July. The new lens, can be focused on objects as close as 8 inches. The universal focus lens is sharp at from five feet to infinity. Both lenses, at only 25 feet, include a picture area 16'/i feel wide! These are the only lenses of their focal length that do not interfere with the rotation of the Filmo 70-D turret head. The focusing mount lens, $55. The universal focus lens, $45.
and the splice as it should be...
Splicing is easy ... as easy as making children's cutouts . . . when you use a Bell 8C Howell Diagonal Splicer.
Pilot pins hold the film in precisely the correct position for each simple operation. Just push the blade to cut each film end on a diagonal. Scrape off the emulsion from one film end. Brush on a little film cement, close the pressure clamp . . . and there you are. Actually, telling about it takes longer and sounds more formidable than doing it.
And the splice is as it should be . . . virtually as strong and flexible as the original film. The diagonal splice gives more bonding area, leaves the perforations intact and uninjured and distributes the pull of each pair of projector sprocket teeth so that one tooth engages on one side of the splice, its mate on the other side. No film stiffness to cause trouble while running through the projector, no pulling apart so that you must stop in the middle of a showing for repairs.
This diagonal splice is the basic feature of all Bell 8C Howell 16 mm. film splicing equipment, the Combination Rewinder and Splicer and the B & H Film Editor as well as the simple Splicer. With such fine and convenient splicing equipment offered, there's no reason why anyone should be content with poor splices in film, no reason to show a brief 100 feet when assemblies in 400 foot reels are so easily made. And the simple B dC H Splicer costs only #7.50. See the nearby Filmo dealer.
B <&» H Film Editor. With the B & H diagonal splicer on the base, this complete editing outfit offers also a magnifying, illuminating picture-viewer and a two-way geared rewincler. B & H Film Editor, complete, $40. B & H Combination Rewincler and Splicer, $14. Rewinder only, $6.
The diagonal splice made with all B & H 16 mm. film splicers. Notice that one perforation of the pair is on one side of the splice while the companion perforation is on the other side.
