A Rapid Automatic Stitch Splicer for Darkroom Operation
A Pfaff “zig-zag” type sewing machine has been used in the development of an automatic stitch splicer for splicing 35mm film before processing. The complete splicing operation can be done quickly and easily in the dark with a minimum of operator training. The splice, made with nylon thread, has several features not found in tape, staple and heat splices. Most important are strength with flexibility, no effect from solutions or softening of film, and no damage to equipment used on the processing machine.
