Automatic Film Inspection

A serious problem in 16mm sound-film distribution has been release-print inspection. Manual procedures generally have proved inadequate. A machine, the Inspect-O-Film, manufactured by the Harwald Co., is used in an automatic system of inspection which has a considerably higher degree of speed and accuracy than manual methods. The machine has been used in 16mm nontheatrical distribution for several years. Recently a model for television use has been introduced. This paper describes the principles of operation and discusses the application to inspection and editing in various fields.
