    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.

    This looks like a tension load test on the pylon. Notice the hydraulic cylinders, a load cell above each one, a power supply and load cell readout in the foreground. Note the chalk marking for forward and tail on the girder at right. Please feel free to correct any bogus comments in the comments below.
