    According to one source, Rail Systems Incorporated was hatched by Rohr in 1973 after winning a contract to refurbish 300 Amtrak rail cars. This was apparently taken around the time the contract was awarded. The company was sold in 1977. It's located on Etiwanda in Mira Loma.

    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.
