ABSTRACT:
A film splicing apparatus for sorting a plurality of photographic films according to a user's ordering instructions which have been recorded on an envelope or the photographic films and for splicing the sorted photographic films so as to form them into a shape of a roll. A photographic film, which has been pulled from a film cartridge, is conveyed along a predetermined conveying path. The leading end of the photographic film is placed in a standby state at a splicing position. On the other hand, the user's ordering instructions are read and a magazine corresponding to the read ordering instructions is selected. The rear end of a roll of photographic film, which has already been accommodated in the magazine, is conveyed to the splicing position. The leading end of the photographic film, which has been placed in the standby state at the splicing position, is spliced to the rear end of the roll of photographic film. A photographic film sorting process and a film splicing process can be automatically carried out. It is therefore unnecessary for an operator to manually sort the photographic films and hence the efficiency of work can be improved.
