    The object to the right of the Moviscop viewer is a film splicer. There are pins sticking up out of the film splicer. To do an edit, you lay the film down with the pins through the film's sprocket holes. There's a sharp blade that makes a clean cut. There's a tool to scrape the emulsion off. Then you apply glue to one side and place the ends into the film splicer. You clamp the film down. When the glue dries, you're done.

    Note the stack of what look like 16 millimeter film cans in the background. Television news reporters used to go out and shoot news and b-roll on 16mm film. The film would need to be developed and edited before being presented on air. Oprah Winfrey, for example, recalled her coworkers shooting news footage on a 16mm Bell and Howell camera while working in Nashville and Chicago TV news.

    I'd expect archived film to be handled with lint-free, Nylon gloves. This keeps the film clean of finger oils and contaminants. Note the stamped metal Rohr property tag with ID K-32141. Something wrong? Your corrections are welcomed and make this a more useful image.
