Brad,
I have a bunch of I.P. mags some of which go back to the late 1930's. Would you be interested in putting these on line? There is alot of interesting stuff in them. I hardly have the entire bunch that was published but it would make a good start and perhaps others out there have them and could help complete the lot.
Yes...it would be a large task!

Great idea, if you can get permission to republish. Probably as much good technical "stuff" in there as older SMPTE Journals.

Yes, I also would love to see those.
I like to see how things were done in the days before automation

Brad, I'd rather send you the actual mags since you have to scan them anyway. I'll pay for UPS to you if you return them to me. Also....what about copyright on this stuff? Some of these are real old and it probably won't matter...actually it sould not really matter at all but I'd hate to see you get them on line then have to shut them off for copyrignt problems. Each mag is anywhere form 15 to 30 pages.
Let me know.

John, The articles by George Mitchell were particulary good in most cases. And would be interesting reading for newbies.

As of current, single sided photocopies are the only way I can scan into pdf. They are not scanned on a traditional type flatbed scanner.

Mark,
His name was Robert Mitchell and his articles were fantastic. His book "Mitchell's Manual of Practical Projection " was a classic.

Sorry about that Bob, You're right. George Mitchell used to write for American Cinematographer Magazine. There are just too many Mitchells out there....and then there was the camera.........
Brad, I have a flatbed scanner. Can I scan them for you and send you the stuff on a ZIP or CD rom? If so what format should I use.......I have never done any PDF stuff before.

From who? There's no longer an International Projectionist Publishing, and no listing with Bowker's (the publishing industry registry).

If any one individual can claim ownership, I'd post the material just to flush 'em out.

I would. No one's trying to make any money off it. The worst thing that ever happens in situations like this is the owner materializes and asks you to cease and desist. Big deal.

But that would be good in this case, because we could finally find out who's been hoarding the boards all these years (again, if an owner even exists, which I seriously doubt)! Then a REAL republishing deal could be worked out for everyone's benefit. I mean, who wouldn't want to buy brand-new copies of the Mitchell book?!

Please, bring 'em on!!!!

BTW, Mark, thank you for your generous offer to post the magazines. They are certainly rare gems.

Mark,

Scanning those and sending them to me in any other format other than pdf would be a waste of time, as to keep Adobe files to a reasonable size everything MUST be scanned directly into pdf format.

Single sided photocopies are the only option at present.
