RP 130:2004 - SMPTE Recommended Practice - Dimensions of Tape Splices on 16-mm and 8-mm Type R Motion-Picture Film, Projection Type

(1.1) This practice specifies the significant dimensions of mated cut splices for 16-mm and 8-mm type R motion-picture film made with an adhesive tape and intended for projection and exhibition. (1.2) There are a number of methods for splicing triacetate or polyester motion-picture film that have found practical and commercial acceptance and that meet the operational requirements for the physical strength of the bond. This practice is not intended to recommend one method over another, but rather to emphasize the requirements common to all tape splices.
