While building my print, one of the reels came with both heads and tails printed on the leader. Leader band states after the countdown leadin H-6 but after 15 or so frames, it states T-1. Could anyone give me a discription of the H/T of reel 1 & 6. I have our corp. people on the phone with ETS, but not sure how long it will take for a responce. I have a 7:00pm radio sneak tonight." I haven't handled this print (yet) but if it is 6 reels, it should be easy to figure out which reel is which. Reel 1 will either start with a trailer or the Fox logo. Reel 6 will end with credits. If the top of the picture is facing the outside of the reel, then it it heads up. If it is facing the inside of the reel it is tails up. Hope that is what you are looking for.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.
