1916 practice (Sargent): object inserts are for things too small to show in the scene, described clearly but not minutely. An insert is written once; later it is 'flashed' for two or three seconds by reference to its first scene number, and a changed insert is described as 'as in No. N, but now...'. A dissolve is written inside the insert. He reports legal limits on reproducing money and revenue stamps, and translation costs for text inserts. Number references and examples are his own invented scripts.

Curator qualifications: Insert practice (letters, telegrams, newspapers, object inserts; written once, then flashed) is verified as Sargent's text. -05 is labelled practice plus proposal.
