Film Conservation Methods at Samuel Goldwyn Studios

Conservation of sound-track film at Samuel Goldwyn Studios operates as follows: Each roll of film as it is threaded on the recording machine is given a magazine card. On this card appears the production number, date, machine number, emulsion, magazine number or numbers, and the operator's name. This card has three columns in which are written the track number, the accumulated footage, and the take footage. Enough room is also provided for remarks pertaining to this particular roll of film—such as missed punches and slates or special laboratory handling. Special laboratory handling may include such items as two or more prints on a certain track, a change in gamma of either negative or print, or a develop-only order.
