How to achieve
lap-dissolves:

are
intended
to blend two successive scenes by super-
imposing

the
other during
a given lapse
of
time, the first
scene
being
gradually
faded
out
while
the
next is gradually
faded
in.

are
achieved
by the
combined
operation
of
the
variable
shutter and
reverse
wind
device.
