The comma has been used in some places as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. Where the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be interpreted as “British Standard”. Cross-references. The International Standards listed in clause 2 are given for information purposes only. The following is implemented as a Subsection of BS 5550; the relevant BS number is as given below: NOTEThe publication of ISO 3773 is awaited and at the moment there is no corresponding British Standard. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

ISO 3773, Cinematography Tape splices for 8 mm Type S motion-picture film for projector use Dimensions1). 3 Dimensions and characteristics 3.1 The dimensions shall be as shown in the figures and given in the tables. 3.2 The film width at the splice shall not exceed 8,08 mm (0.318 in). If the film ends have been widened during scraping, the extra width shall be removed. 3.3 The spliced films should not be offset more than dimension G (see Figure 3), as measured by the difference in the alignment of the reference edge side of the perforation holes on each of the spliced halves. 3.4 In the plan view, the angle between the adjoining edges of the spliced film should be 180° ± 8½. Thus, the spliced film should be aligned to the extent that when one portion of the film is placed against a straight edge, the other portion does not deviate more than 0,35 mm (0.014 in) in 15,2 cm (6 in). 3.5 An optional splice method providing a symmetrical overlap about the frame line is temporarily recognized and is specified in Table 2. It is anticipated that if the manufacturer is directed to the recommended method, it will be possible to delete this table in future revisions. 3.6 It is temporarily recognized that dimension A of an optional splice may be 2,00 mm (0.079 in) maximum, dimension C shall be 0,84 mm (0.033 in) and dimension D shall be 2,01mm (0.079 in) for combination 8 mm Type S and 8 mm Type R splicing blocks intended for personal-use photography. 3.7 The specifications intentionally prevent cutting into or including a perforation in the splice. 3.8 Beveled splices are recommended, and the splice orientation shown in Figure 2 is preferred for most applications because it provides the least optical disturbances to the scene. When magnetically-striped films are spliced, the overlap shown in Figure 2 should be oriented so that the trailing scene drops onto the sound head, rather than bumps into it. 1) At present at the stage of draft. +0,18 0,30 + 0.007 0.012 + 0,18 0,30 + 0.007 0.012 Figure 1 Splice dimension specification Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Mon Dec 04 13:22:52 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI BS 5550-1.6.1:1978 2 © BSI 10-1999 Table 1 Recommended frame line spliceTable 2 Optional splice Symmetrical overlap in respect to the frame linea Figure 2 Splice overlap orientation Figure 3 Alignment dimension specification Dimensionmmin A1,40 ref.0.055 ref.

A.2 The scraped area should be limited as closely as possible to the area covered by the overlapping film, in order to prevent the appearance of a line on the screen.
