Roll Film<br />

Roll films in widths <strong>of</strong> 16 mm to 17 inches and long strips <strong>of</strong> film may be<br />

processed in a KODAK INDUSTREX Processor. This requires a somewhat<br />

different procedure than is used when feeding sheet film. Roll film in narrow<br />

widths and many strips have an inherent curl because they are wound on<br />

spools. Because <strong>of</strong> this curl, it is undesirable to feed roll or strip film into the<br />

processor without attaching a sheet <strong>of</strong> leader film to the leading edge <strong>of</strong> the<br />

roll or strip. Ideally, the leader should be unprocessed radiographic film.<br />

Sheet film that has been spoiled in exposure or accidentally light-fogged can<br />

be preserved and used for this purpose. The leader film should be at least as<br />

wide as, and preferably wider than, the roll film and be a minimum <strong>of</strong> 10<br />

inches long. It is attached to the roll film with a butt joint using pressureensitive<br />

polyester tape, such as SCOTCH Brand Electrical Tape No. 3, one<br />

inch in width. (Other types <strong>of</strong> tape may not be suitable due to the solubility <strong>of</strong><br />

their bases in the processing solutions.)<br />
