This one is going to get butchered! Nearly every reel begins and ends with a fade-in or fade-out. In most cases, there are no frameline references and one must count either 24 frames past the changeover cues or 47 frames past the 3-foot mark on the leader. There are no obvious "cut here" markings, though at least one reel (R4? I can't remember) has something that looks like it might be a suggested "cut here" point, but it is positioned well beyond what should be the last frame of picture on that reel (judging by the changeover cues).

I would bet large sums of money that at least 50% of these prints will be destroyed when they are first plattered or made up onto large reels due to carelessness and/or incompetence. [Frown]
