Please don't use cardbroad mounts for projection, especially if you are 
using slip-in type mounts!  Recently I saw a slide show featuring many 
wonderful shots, but unfortunately most of them were paper mounted.  It 
was only through the rapid adjustment of the TDC projector's controls 
that the audience's eyesight was preserved.  Accuracy in mounting is not 
an optional feature, something to be overlooked.  Putting a paper mount 
in a EMDE binder probably won't work because the paper mount is too thick 
to be used with binder and cover glass.  The only cardbroad mounts I am 
personally aware of that allows for accuracy in mounting are the 
excellent Spicer mounts from Australia.  Even these require care and 
skill in placing the film pair; you still have to understand what you are 
doing.  Dennis Sherwood
