A Method for Splicing Motion-Picture Film
Virginia Chambers, Wilton R. Holm · SMPTE Journal 1955 · 1955
The splicing of motion-picture film with pressure sensitive tape is described. A tape made from thin “Mylar” polyester film has been found to yield strong, durable splices without the need of scraping or cementing. This method is applicable to all types of film base, and may have utility in theaters or as a replacement for clip, staple or stitch splices in laboratories.
