These may be fitted with a picture-head and a sound-head. Such apparatus may be used, for example, to synchronise images with a sound track. Separately presented ictute-heads, and devices equipped with sound-heads which are used together wit frame viewers on synchronisation tables, also fall in this heading. However, separately presented sound-heads are excluded (heading 85.22). (1 1) Machines for numbering copies of films by perforation. (12) Editing desks for handling films; these are fitted with s 001rewinders. Special fdlm re-winders for winding negatives (e.g., after printing); ilm measurers and footage counters, to check the len of films (separately presented counter mechanisms are excluded, see heading 90. 9). !P P (1 3) Film titling apparatus. (14) F i viewers for editing rinted cinematographic film.These viewers may be combined with sound recorEng or reproducing apparatus! (I,) Film viewers for still images used to examine photographic negatives in photographic laboratories. a (w sp ecialised equi ment used in reproduction work (not being photoc ying a aratus By the o heading 84. 3), e.g., apparatus for developing specially sensitise" paper ammonia vapour process. (11) NEGATOSCOPES Negatoscopas are used mainly for examining medical radiographs or radiophotographs. They may be of ve different types, ranging fkom wall-mounted light boxes to automatic magazine-fed ra%ograPh viewers, (111) PROJECTION SCREENS These screens are used in cinemas, schools, lecture rooms, etc. They include projection screens for three-dimensional presentation; also portable screens, rolled in sheaths or contained in boxes, for mounting on tripods, on tables, or for hanging from the ceiling. They are often made of a fabric coated white, silver or with lass grains (microspheres), or of sheets of lastics; these fabrics or sheets are generally per orated.
