198 FUNDAMENTALS ganization and the quality of production. A good splice will not pull apart; the film will break first. If it breaks around the splice, it is usually a sign that the scraping was too deep. Faulty splices can be accounted for by the following four reasons: old film or old cement; film too brittle and dry through improper storage; careless splicing; faulty projector. It is im- portant to use the proper cement for safety and non-safety film. The wrong type is sometimes the cause of faulty splices. Some film users like to make their own cement. In case any readers do (although the author advises against it, for in case any- thing goes wrong there is no one to blame), a solution of old film base with the emulsion removed, ether, and acetone will make a standard brew. About two feet of film—safety, of course—two ounces of ether, and six- teen ounces of acetone will make plenty. If splices have been made in a film to be used over the air, be very sure the film has been properly examined before use. Every splice should be tested by pulling. Any doubtful ones should be replaced, for the few minutes it takes may make the film a success in- stead of a farce due to a broken splice. ipnflillMHHIpiliBj Fig. 9-6. Neumade film storage cabinet.
