- Abstract
- Projection performance of processed motion-picture film is improved by lubrication whereby the coefficient of friction is controlled within the range that gives steady, reproducible positioning of successive frames with the least strain on the perforations. Printer effectiveness can also be improved by lubricating the negative to facilitate a constant pitch relationship to the raw stock, and to minimize minor abrasions. Irrespective of the extensive research work on film lubrication and the wide experience gained over the years, considerable misunderstanding of this subject still exists. This paper reviews the pertinent background, examines the processes and materials for lubrication and describes several procedures of proven effectiveness.
