The Development of an Invisible 16-mm Film Splice

Ernest Baumert, Joseph V. Noble

All present 16-mm film splices standardized by the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, while possessing the necessary strength, have the undesirable characteristic of being visible on the screen. A new splice has been developed which does not encroach on the picture aperture area, and nevertheless retains sufficient strength for printing and projection operations. The principle, equipment, and abuse tests are described.
