ABSTRACT:
A filmstrip holding apparatus for supporting a filmstrip having image frames to be scanned with reduced transverse curl is disclosed. The filmstrip holding apparatus includes a base defining a channel, the channel including a bottom surface having an aperature and two opposed parallel sides to accomodate the filmstrip lengthwise past the aperture; and a clamp having two opposed elongated clamping members and a support frame extending between the clamping members to hold them in their opposed relationship. The clamp is moveable between a rest position in which a lower surface of each clamping member is spaced from the base to allow lengthwise passage of the filmstrip past the aperture, and a clamping position in which the lower surface of each clamping member lies adjacent to the base to capture the filmstrip between the clamping members and the base at positions along the base on opposite sides of the aperture, said clamping members having a length equal to the length of the image frame and at least 1/2 the width of the channel.
