Film Projection Practice Committee Report

The subject of narrow-tooth sprockets and the continued release of prints, primarily with wide perforations, was discussed at length. It was reported that about ten theaters had changed back to wide-tooth sprockets because there was nothing on the market but wide perforation film. This change was reported to have been spurred by an unusual amount of film damage. The discussion continued and it was requested that the Committee investigate the possibility of establishing the small perforation as the standard for release prints. The consensus of those present, however, was that such a proposed change could not be handled by the laboratories. While these facilities are able to manufacture some prints with narrow perforations, their ability or capacity to manufacture all release prints with perforations conforming to PH22.102 is currently impossible.
