Ever notice how, especially on those "Headline Editions" of 50' or so, that the leader is practically gone? - When SEARS brought out those "toy" projectors that included a 50' short, the kids and some grown-ups too, would try like anything to align the sprocket holes to the claw with varying degrees of success - I've come across many films with the leader entirely gone, hole damage, varying "lamp-burns" when the film was caught in the gate, and sometimes just a frame or two of the main titles - Even the 200' "Complete Editions" - No sqwak here, just another observation through the years - Thing is, what gest my goat, is when a choice 400' short has the same look, drives me through the lens - Shorty
