There are those here who can't understand why someone would be
interested in still doing film photography or developing their own
film. Those still shooting film, though, have an appreciation for the
"old way" and an admiration of the mechanics involved.

The video is about a guy who has a similar appreciation and admiration
in a somewhat related area.

Yup! That was interesting.

Old technology is always interesting, just think of steam engines, or
warbirds.


Not a great image, bu I just felt like making it. I haven't decided if I
will continue to play with it.

Not my kind of thing, that sort of composite, but if you are just playing, go
ahead.

My preference would be to present individual images of the B-29, B-25, B-17,
P-51, A-10, and eagle.

I;ve just been asked to date this image.
It;s in my lab but I don't think these are 1940s students, more like 60s..

but if anyone has any thoughts...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/35ntzcnna5...1940s.jpg?dl=0

I would never have thought 1940’s, maybe late 1950’s, early 1960’s.

I heard the other night on TV regading bombers, that the expression the whole
9 yards comes from the belt lengh of the guns on the B-17 as in give them the
whole or full 9 yards.

That is correct. A belt of .50 caliber ammo in an ammo can for the M2
Browning machine guns mounted in the various turret, and waist positions were
about 27 feet, or 9 yards long.

I always thought it was an american football term ;-0

Nope.

BTW: Depending on the ammo can type you would have either 270 or 380 rounds
of .50 Cal linked with metal links. The “nine yard” cans held 270 rounds.
The other thing to consider is the actual weight of each of those cans with
that much ammo, and the metal link belt.

Nine yards has no real significance in American football. It's a gain
or loss in yardage, but the significant measurement is ten yards. If
a team gains ten yards or more in their series of plays, the next down
is a first down and they have four more downs in possession.

As clear as mud :-)

The difference between American football and European football is that
the American football players attempt to advance the ball towards the
opponent's goalposts. European football players mostly mill around
the middle of the field kicking the ball to and fro and not advancing
it in either direction.

Also, when an American football player goes down, it is because an
opponent, or a gaggle of opponents, has forced him down to stop his
advance. When a European football player goes down, it is a dramatic
move worthy of a BAFTA award for Best Performance for a Solo Effort.

Then there is this

It looks as though a giant wall is about to descend on the ball
