Author Topic: Military research place - London. Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 07-21-2004 01:35 AM                     A question was asked on the uk.railway group about a recently demolished building alongside a railway. It seems it was some sort of military research place, and a link was posted to a page with some pictures of it. The last two pictures may be of interest. The machines are 'Elephant's foot' Kalee 21s, with BTH xenons. The machines seem to have mag penthouses. There is also a third machine, but all that can be seen is the back of the lamphouse, I think it may be an Eiki 16mm. The odd-shaped spoolboxes were also used on an early Cintel flying spot telecine; Rank owned both Cintel and Kalee at one time. I can't find a photographb of this at the moment though. http://www.sub-urban.com/aquila.htm  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-21-2004 02:00 AM                        The "vacuum chamber thingy" is plainly a misidentified popcorn machine.  |  IP: Logged
