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.

"A" "R" ctrv) "TV Positive Positive Postitive Positive Fig. 4. Cut-Outs from, the Average Exchange and Projection Booths Samples "A," aB", and UC" are beveled splices; that is, both emulsion and celluloid surfaces have been scraped to a bevel of 8°. The average width of these splices is one thirty-second of an inch, or approximately the width of the average frame line. The thickness at point of splice is but .0075, which is .0025 thicker than the average thickness of a single strip of film. Sample "A" for negative raw stock will readily pass through any of the present day camera movements, and a positive raw stock splice through the printers without interference or liability of breakage. Sample "B" is an exposed negative splice, which will be compared in Figure No. 6 with a print of itself on positive stock. Sample "C" is an exposed positive splice, beveled with the negative adjustment cutters. To all appearances, this splice is barely noticeable, and even to the scrutinizing eye is as one continuous piece of film. It is as flexible as the film itself, and its longevity is determined only by the accuracy and care with which it is made 46
