How does Sargent (1916) say time leaders and break leaders should be worded and used, how brief must a leader be, and what does he say about style?
1916 practice (Sargent): a time leader should state the interval; the bare 'Later' that some studios stocked was irritating. A break leader advances the story without a stated interval and implies time passing; he reserves it for a longer stop because the cut-back now handles shorter breaks. A leader should be as brief as possible and not awkwardly brief; the leader is where the author's literary skill shows, smooth and fluent, except cut-ins, which are plain speech. The time-leader claims in paras 25-27 are already carried by C3-B125-S27-02.

Curator qualifications: Leader types (straight, fact, time, break, cut-in), the cut-in as in-scene speech, time-leader wording and misuses are verified as Sargent's text. The seven-check list (-05) is labelled practice plus proposal.
