The leading end of the film shall not have terminators (or threading the film through the reader.
5.5 Separate leaders
Use of separate leaders is optional. If a separate leader is used, the following requirements apply.
5.5.1 Dimensions
Dimensions as to width, thickness, length to first image. and shape of leading end shall meet the requirements of 5.4.
5.5.2 Leader-film Secureness Criteria
The splice must withstand 100 stops at a velocity of 1.5 mIs (5 feet) second) with tension exerted on the film through a clutch that slips at 0.23 N-rn (2.03 pound-inches), under the same test conditions as specified in 5.3.4.
5.6 Optical Compatibility
Image placement. orientation, and winding shall be in accordance with ANSI/AIIM MS14 as further specified in figures 2 and 2A.
5.7 Materials See annex A.
5.7.1 Flexibility of Flanges
It shall take not less than 71 grams or more than 212 grams (2-1/2 ounces to 7-1/2 ounces) to pinch the flanges of an empty reel together 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) from their free positions. The force and measurement shall be applied 3.175 mm (1/8 inch) from the periphery of the flanges. The flanges must return to their original position after the test.
5.7.2 Impact Strength
The reel loaded with 30.5 m (100 feet) of 0.13 mm (0.005 inch) thick film shall withstand the following test without shattering and without impairment of use.
Test: Drop the reel four times from a height of 1.22 m (4 feet) onto a level flat steel surface. The reel is dropped once on the edge of each flange and once on the face of each flange under the same test conditions as specified in 5.3.4.
5.7.3 Compatibility
All materials of the reel shall be so chosen as not to cause loss of information on the film or loss of reel function (see annex A). Here film refers to commercially available film at the time this standard was approved.
