First, let me state there are many different, equally usefull ways to 
mount.  It depends on what you are going to mount the stereo pairs into-a 
papermount, plastic, or aluminum mask all have their specific requirments.
However, most techniques are variations of two basic approaches: cut & 
sort or mount as you go.  Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Storing the film in a sorting box as you cut prevents mismatching, and 
allows you to later examine the pairs to decide which ones are worth 
mounting.  Perhaps a stereo turns out great and you want to mount it for 
projection.  Another pair might be only good enough to put in a papermount-
you are not locked into any particular mount.  Many people prefer to 
mount as they cut and process an entire batch at one time.  As far as 
sorting is concerned, one could use the witness marks, imprinted exposure 
number, or film sequence besides eyeballing to distinguish between right 
& left pictures.  It's what works for you-having a properly mounted and 
adjusted stereo pair is the goal.    Dennis Sherwood  emdesher@xxxxxxxxxxxx
