Older film and prints should have water proof images. The last bath (tank) in the processing machine was water rinse, street water from the city where developed. If you have sections of clear film stuck, clip that out and soak in, distilled is good, warm water until it turns loose. Do not force the separation. Prints also go through the last water bath before the drying cabinet. I have had surprising, to me, results in separating older color prints stuck together in album pages after Hurricane Katrina. These prints took much longer soaking in warm water than B&W prints. Those were posted in AvPix Unlimited thread. The last ones were printed on RC (resin coated) paper & I suspect that is why the long soaking time. If your negatives are older than the late 90s I would guess no problems, however if you can find a reject or out of focus negative frame, test it as well as a clear piece. A discussion with a museum or movie conservator wouldn't hurt.Which name is used usually depends on who the target of the manual is.
For a pilot - they are only interested in the control (handle/lever/wheel/knob) that they must move.
For the maintenance person - they are interested in the complete assembly which includes the handle/lever/ etc if directly operated or the unit with its remote control linkage/pulley/sprocket if not.
I may in the future be able to supply photos of Ki-43 cockpits I took in the early 1970s. The instruments and control columns were missing but most of the other controls were still in the aircraft. I recently found all my missing negative albums and will slowly go through and digitize them. I say slowly because there are thousands of negatives and many are stuck inside the negative holders. I am still researching the best way to release them without damage to the negative. Some say use distilled water, others say various chemicals and never use water, etc etc and I need to determine what is best as I do not want to damage any. I have sent the movie film to a US source for cleaning and digitizing and hopefully they will do a good job. I chose one who is well regarded going by internet reviews so I hope the reviews are accurate.
