I recently saw some severely scratched negs, scratched on the emulsion side. 
One particular scratch had 2 "digs" evenly spaced within each frame.  I 
could see some light scratching on the back, caused by a piece of grit on 
the pressure plate, but this was emulsion side.  I suggested he try a test 
roll and use a completely different lab.
