Frame-line tape edge
In ltfmm, both tape edges are
on the frame line. Workprints look
cleaner. On TV news footage, the
splice is effectively invisible at 24
frames per seeond.
No frame loss
If you change the cut, there's
no frame lost, of course. And since

Repairs: Torn print at left
Broken sprocket holes, right.
Easily through the gate
A cement splice almost doubles
th film's thickness at that point.
CIRO tape nn both sides of the film
increases it from about 72/1000
inch to 75/1000 inch! (Horizontal
editing machines let you use tape
on one side only.) CIRO splices run
through projectors smoothly.
Looks better on screen
Because every CIRO splice is
perfectly registered, the image
doesn't weave as it goes through the
gate. With CIRO tape, the clean,
straight sides of the tape run across
the film — not a torn-off, serrated
section. So dirt doesn't stick.
Tape two-thirds cheaper
Because it's not perforated,
high-quality CIRO tape costs about
a third the price of pre-perforated
tape. Not a big item — but it adds
up. After about thirty rolls, your
tape savings have paid for the
splicer. (CIRO tape, incidentally, is
guaranteed not to telescope.)
One year guarantee
Overall, the CIRO is built to
last. Stainless steel precision.
Nevertheless, every morlel is guaranteed
for a year, parts and labor.

It's about the same problem if Moti<

There is yet another factor in all of th
that most people miss. Older equipmen
billed as "good as new." means that som<
one has reconditioned it so that it is ;
good as when it was new in 1936, or sorr
similar year. This assumes, of course, th;
the restorer did a thorough job, and th
his methods were totally equivalent to tl'
original precision factory equipment ar
methods. This is quite an assumption,
might point out. Now then, once we ha'

there have been no new developments sini
