I was very angry to find out that it was just a manual. Nowhere did it say it was the manual. I thought I was downloading the actual answering machine itself and I was quite pleased. I demand that you put the actual answering machine up for download immediately.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-14-2003 03:21 PM                     Sorry you thought it was the machine. Ian probably thought it was pictures of the unit.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Otherwise, we may be condemned to see photos of DTS setup disks, buzz-track loops, and answering machines, rather than actual useful manuals or (better yet) pics of theatres.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-14-2003 09:36 PM                     quote: www.answeringmachinetour.com ... my next project?

Not only have I fallen behind on my Sneak-Preview status... I'm also completely unaware of what the hell anybody is talking about. It's like I'm finally not addicted to smack anymore... and now here I am with my belt around my arm getting the needle ready... I'm gonna go out and see what's been going on while I've been away.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 07-29-2003 03:17 PM                        The three Cameron manuals and the Kodak "Film Mutilation" publication are great! Oldies but goodies. As far as I can tell, that Kodak publication likely dates back to the early 1920's, just after Kodak developed the KS perforations to reduce perforation wear from long theatre runs. ("Report of the Film Perforations Committee", Transactions of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers, Volume 16, (1923), pages 303-308). The publication also discusses using "hot wax" for edgewax lubrication of prints, which was used before solvent-based edgewaxing was developed by Kodak in 1927. My best guess is that the publication was written by J. G. Jones, John I. Crabtree, Charles E. Ives, or Otto Sandvik of Kodak. These fellows "wrote the book" on early motion picture film technology, and won many honors. For example, Crabtree and Ives are "Honor Roll" members of the SMPTE, along with notable inventors like Thomas Armat, Theodore Case, Lee DeForest, William K. L. Dickson, Walt Disney, Linwood Dunn, Thomas Edison, Herbert T. Kalmus, Louis Lumiere, and George Mitchell. Sandvik helped develop the 24fps projection standard. Wonderful to see how Kodak tried to help theatres have "Film Done Right" almost 80 years ago!  |  IP: Logged Daniel Fuentz Expert Film Handler Posts: 230 From: Fresno, CA, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 07-30-2003 03:24 AM                     Rather than restricting the sneak sections to people who have been around long enough to accumulate 50 posts, it is now 10 posts within the last 30 days. Where's that three-word game when you need it?  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-07-2003 09:18 AM                        The Lincoln Theatre looks great. How often do they show films, and what do they show? I'm guessing that the unidentified black box in the dungeon is the controller for a TransVerter motor-generator set. I think that the knob regulates motor RPM. Hopefully someone can confirm or deny this.  |  IP: Logged
