GM Ed,

EV> Last night I was planning on answering this message after I answered
EV> Daryl's but it was late and I turned the pc off before sending the
EV> .REP packet.

I always upload messages B4 turning off the machine. It has happened
more than once that when I didn't, I have by mistake deleted replied
messages when I start the QWK reader the next time.

It does always when it starts up tell me that there are replied messages
and asks me to KEEP/DELETE them. In some instances I have thought that I
have already uploaded them and then deleted them.

EV> I didn't notice the Camera Brand that I looked at wasn't a regular
EV> Kino Camera, I thought all Kino Cameras worked with a crank on the
EV> side to take images one after the other as the crank was turned.
EV> My mistake in not reSearching further about it.

Please note that "in old times" the 8 and 16 mm cinema cameras where not
running with electrical motors but a spring driven motor and therefore
the spring that fed the motor had to be wound up with a crank or some
other mechanical device.

EV> In the 1960's Kodak made a Ektachrome film with a higher speed
EV> (ASA), so I bought a roll of it to try out.

AFAIR I have always been able to buy any film with different sensitivity

EV> Those slides looked perfect when I received them back from the
EV> processing lab I mailed them to. Boy was I glad to learn that I
EV> could use that new faster film in Daylight.

Most cameras, except the cheapest ones, can be adjusted to different
speeds and apertures to compensate for different light situations.

Nowadays they do it automatically if you don't decide to do it manually.

 HG> I don't recall having seen Ektachrome (note the spelling) but
 HG> it may have slipped my mind since I've never used that
 HG> material.

EV> Thanks for the correction, those first two letters in Ektachrome
EV> being meant to say "Eastman Kodak", I've been pronouncing it
EV> Et-ka-chrome for so long I didn't realize I was making TYPOS,....

 HG> Oh yes, I recall those projectors that were available to the
 HG> public in "old time" amusement establishments. That must have
 HG> been btwn 1940-50. You put in a dime (or whatever it was) and
 HG> then you could turn a crank and enjoy a short movie sequence.

EV> I think/thought what I was looking at was a current model that was
EV> still being sold, instead of antique stuff.
EV> It didn't look anything like the big machines in the Penny Arcade at
EV> the amusement park that I dropped many pennies in during my youth.
EV> -snip-

The cameras were much smaller that the projectors because the projectors
used paper images of the pictures on the film. That was the oldi

EV> Now, my mind is trying to remember what size of image was on the
EV> reels of 35mm film which I put on the projectors when I was working
EV> as a Projectionist at a Movie Theater.

Those images are/were the standard 35x24 mm size.

EV> The BBS that Mike has can be connected by Dial-Up, Telnet or the
EV> Internet, three ways.

EV> He showed me that I could use FTP instead of Telnet to get/put my
EV> packet(s), since I had difficulty using Telnet for QWK, and the
EV> Internet Portal didn't allow QWK handling, only Reading and Writing.

Normally Telnet should work normally for QWK packets but I have never
used it that way but I have downloaded files/programs over both Telnet
and FTP.
