Before it's too late can someone record and upload both catalog no 251 Jiffy and the Listen films? I would assume any copyright would have run out by now. Maybe Sam or someone could ask Ioan Allen about it?

The copyright is 50 years and it hasn't been that long
I have asked repeadedly for them to sell a dcp version but they have no interest

I've got a great 'almost mint' 35mm nitrate copy of the old SME version of
the 'jiffy' test film from the late 1930's or early 40's that I've been wanting
to digitize next time my friend fires up his old Rank Cinetel.

I'm sure the copyright, if any, on that has been long expired.
