    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.

    Part of the tags puzzle: Looking at this using this URL

    ""https://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/54445080419/in/album-72177720325013375/""

    the tags are locked. If you erase the "in" part so the URL is

    ""https://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/54445080419/""

    you can edit the tags.

    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.
