Albions are still my favorite aluminum mounts.  You don't need to
open the film chips.  You can slightly bend the mount with one
hand while you insert the chip.  Then the chip stays tight in the
mount.  I will show you when we meet next week in Cleveland. :-)

The front side (viewing) of the chips is parallel to the side
without the chanel.  I don't remember seeing the sprockets this
way.  I use aluminum tape to keep the chips in place.
