A method of applying a photosensitive film portion to at least one face of each of a succession of support members each of which has front, side, and rear edges such that the support member face extends beyond the film portion at each of the edges whereby the film portion perimeter lies within the profile of the support member face, the method comprises the steps of: a. supplying film having a leading edge to at least one of a pair of opposing cylindrical surfaces, b. cutting the film to a predetermined film width less than the respective support member width while it is being supplied to the at least one cylindrical surface, c. inserting a support member between the pair of cylindrical surfaces, d. rotating the at least one cylindrical surface a predetermined amount to position the film leading edge between the at least one cylindrical surface and the support member, e. positioning the support member such that its front edge extends beyond the film leading edge by a predetermined distance and with each of the support member sides extending beyond the respective film sides by a predetermined distance, f. attaching the film leading edge to the support member, g. cutting from the film a film portion having a predetermined length less than the support member length by a predetermined amount greater than the predetermined distance the support member front edge extends beyond the film leading edge while the film portion is disposed on the at least one cylindrical surface, h. fixing the film portion to the support member, and i. repeating steps b through h for each of the succeeding support members. i
