Plastics in a Motion-Picture Processing Machine

John W. Raymond

Many plastics provide excellent chemical resistance and ease of fabrication. Their flexibility, low joint strength and heat distortion require special consideration in machine design. Utilizing hot impinged air drying and compactness, AirLab has built a 16mm, black-and-white, negative-positive machine using Uscolite, Epon, Tygon, Nylon and Neoprene to make racks, piping, elevators, special valves, sheaves and tank linings simply and at low cost. Results indicate the suitability of some of these materials in a color machine.
