The film master of this sequence was copied from the original 35mm nitrate negative in the 1970s. The nitrate negatives, as was often the case at the time, were then destroyed. The new material was copied to 35mm negative and positive acetate safety film. This is turning acetic (vinegar syndrome). The new elements created in 2009 which relate to the items shelfmarked 2151F 1-3 are on polyester safety film. They are 2151F1/3 is a FG (fine grain) dupe positive (from original negative supplied); 2151F2/3 is a FG (fine grain) dupe negative from new dupe positive [created in Step 1]; 2151F3/3 is a FG dupe negative the new dupe positive produced [created in Step 2]. Note; each reel has the same footage.

This item forms part of the compiled films of the same title, shelfmark 376.
