I just re-read this handout and wanted to mention a few things I do
differently.

Supplies:  A 3M tape dispenser for 3" reels holds both 1/4 and 3/8" tapes


6) Adjust the stereo window by sliding the chips either closer together or
farther apart. Check this by placing the modified SV1 Viewer over the jig.

I use a mounting gauge, as I can't adjust the window accurately enough without
it.  The Reel-3D gauge for 7 perf works for all RBT sizes.  If you need to
correct for rotational errors, then tape down the chips to the jig with
westabs.

"10) Turn the jig with film chips over and place face down on the mount."

I place the Spicer mount down on the RBT jig, then lifting up the front edge
with tweezers; I turn the pair over.  This avoids the film chips falling off
the pins.

18) If everything is fine, use a piece of 3/8” tape to seal the full length of
the mount edge (see figure 6).

I pull out 6" of 3/8" tape, press it down on the tearing bar, hold it tight
while I align the slide with it and press it.  Then tear off the tape from the
dispenser, and carefully fold over the tape making sure it is tight at both
ends.  Lay it down and press the tape tight.  Then cut off the excess length
with scissors.  (The ends must be tight or the slide will bow and tilt in a
Brackett fader projector)
