Author Topic: Common projectors of the 1930's... John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 08-03-2004 09:49 PM                        Mr. Sprague sent me a copy of his comprehensive history of the Brenkert company, which I gave to the technology collection at the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. Todd Gustavson is the curator.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-04-2004 12:07 AM                     quote: Will Kutler Tony stated that Western Electric is a Simplex copy.

Were any aspects of the design of this recycled for the 70mm machines of the '50s and '60s? Obviously the DP-70 was a design from scratch, but I always did wonder (i) if any Grandeur projectors survive and (ii) whether any significant aspects of the technology were ever recycled? If I remember correctly, the Mitchell Grandeur camera was virtually identical to the first Todd-AO ones, apart from the adaptation from a 4 to a 5 perf pulldown.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Stricker Master Film Handler Posts: 481 From: Calumet, Mi USA Registered: Nov 1999 posted 08-04-2004 07:10 AM                     I have talked to Robert about posting of his efforts on F-T. I don't believe at this time that he is wanting to do that. I'm sure he has his reasons and I respect him for that.  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-04-2004 08:46 PM                        Thanks for all the help! Digging through the old stuff is really interesting.  |  IP: Logged
