Abstract: An attenuated rail grabber includes a rigid support member operable to be mounted on a weapon and support an optical device including a first fastener receiver and a second fastener receiver. The attenuated rail grabber includes a fastening mechanism coupled to the rigid support member and operable to fasten the rigid support member to the weapon. The attenuated rail grabber includes a first spring feature coupled to the rigid support member. The first spring feature includes a fore mounting tab having a fore fastener aperture. The attenuated rail grabber also includes a second spring feature coupled to the rigid support member. The second spring feature includes an aft mounting tab having an aft fastener aperture. The fore fastener aperture is operable to receive a first fastener joined to the first fastener receiver and the aft fastener aperture is operable to receive a second fastener joined to the second fastener receiver.

Abstract: A film bridge assembly adapted to precisely position film during scanning in a digital film processing system. The film bridge assembly makes up part of a film bridge and illuminator cavity system that includes a slot for the passage of illumination light that is used to scan film at an opening of the slot. A window or cylindrical lens is provided at the opening of the slot to permit film to pass over the slot without incurring any scratching. The window or lens is effective to keep the film at a constant height, reduce debris at the image plane, and permit a maximum amount of illumination light to pass through the film.
