Metric and Hollywood Film Company make the most widely used units: http://www.kodak.com/country/US/en/motion/support/technical/ultrasonic.shtml http://www.metricsplicer.com/3001.html http://www.hollywoodfilmco.com/Splicer.htm Ultrasonic splicers can be used with polyester film. They will not work well with triacetate film. ------------------ John P.
