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.
SHIPMENT OF FILMS
Unless there is no other alternative, all film shipments to exhibitors outside of New York City and Chicago are sent by express collect. Note on page 45 the announcement by the Railway Express Agency regarding half -rate charges on return shipments.
On all parcel post shipments leaving our exchanges, there will be an additional charge of 15c for 16 m/m and 25c for all 35 m/m shipments for messenger service to the post office. There will also be a 15c charge for billing and collecting each parcel post charge. Films must be started back to us not later than the morning after the scheduled showing date. Films for classroom use should be shipped back on the afternoon of the scheduled showing date.
Be sure to keep a permanent file of all return shipment express receipts indicating on them the catalog numbers of films sent. Insure all shipments $25. a reel for 16 m/m and $50. per reel for 35 m/m. Please return films to us without rewinding — we rewind during inspection.
CARE OF PROJECTORS
Follow carefully the instructions sent with your projector.
Be sure to keep the gate of your machine clean. A certain amount of emulsion from films accumulates and this should be removed with a bone scraper.
Use only a small amount of oil — but oil the projector frequently.
Be sure to leave a full loop at both the top and bottom of the gate. Most damage to film is caused by not allowing sufficient loop or by not noticing a loss of loop while projecting films.
Do not use a warped or damaged take-up spool. Have your machine inspected periodically so that worn parts can be replaced.
Very important — films are expensive, so allow only a competent person fully acquainted with the operation and care of your machine to operate it.
