D e to contacts throughout industry and the intelligent
community, it is concluded
NN, that no equivalent device is currently in existence.
18. DESCRIPTION OF INTELLIGENCE REQUIREMENT AND DETAILED TECHNICAL DESCRI
PTION OF PROJECT (Continue on addi-
tional page if required) When existing editing tables were
conceived, there was no
requirement for cutting the film because all the film b
ases then in use could be
ripped, using a ripping bar technique. Now,new film ba
ses which cannot be ripped
have come into regular use, and there is a requirement
or an editing table provided
with a cutter.
The main purpose of this project is the developmen
t of an editing table which
is capable of cutting all of the present types of film b
ases. The table will be a
si,,,:ificant improvement over existing equipment because
the tables now in use do
