A Modified Film Waxing Machine

J. I. Crabtree, C. E. Ives

In a previous communication1 J. G. Jones described a machine for applying a thin line of paraffin wax along the edges of motion picture positive film to serve as a lubricant and facilitate the passage of newly processed or “green” film through the projector. The wax was applied by means of two thin steel disks which dipped partly in a pan of melted wax fitted with an electric heater, while the film was led over these disks emulsion side down.
