Sound Recording and Reproducing Using 16-mm. Film

C. N. Batsel, J. O. Baker

This paper deals with the various problems involved in applying sound to 16-mm. film and points out the advantages of the particular type of film that was chosen. There are two general methods of producing 16-mm. positives, the direct and the indirect. The direct method involves the recording of sound directly on a 16-mm. negative, from which is printed a 16-mm. positive either by contact or by the reversal process. The indirect method concerns various ways of obtaining 16-mm. positives from 35-mm. film. The problems involved in printing and reproducing 16-mm. sound films are discussed.
