*When running acetate, test the shrinkage on the head or tail first if it is original. Start with the pins close together and then widen the gap until the film lies flat but is not overly tight. While the rate of shrinkage may change over the course of the reel, this allows you to roughly calibrate the pin distance without unnecessarily handling the picture area. When inspecting a reel composed of multiple shorts or clips, the shrinkage will often vary between them, so each item must be assessed separately. | *When running acetate, test the shrinkage on the head or tail first if it is original.

*When making a splice, adjust the pin distance so that the ends of film are gently touching with no gap and without overlapping. If the cut is uneven, one side may slightly overlap so that there is no gap on the shorter side. | *When making a splice, adjust the pin distance so that the ends of film are gently touching with no gap and without overlapping.
