Film Numbering Device for Cameras and Recorders

M. W. Palmer

Footage numbering has been used on the edge of motion picture film for some time, and has proven to be a great aid in cutting and assembling silent pictures. With the introduction of sound, a separate film is used for the sound track, and it is very desirable for cutting and matching that the sound track bear the same numbers along its edge as does the picture negative. The device, which I am about to describe, numbers both films in the camera while the picture is being made, thus substituting for the present numbering system a different one better adapted to sound pictures.
