Your right about the image size, I should never rely on a feeble
memory....lol
What I do remember about the standard was that it seemed to take two men
and
a boy to lift it onto the tripod or dolly. I worked at the Army
Pictorial
Center in Queens NY during the last nine months of my very brief Army
career. The Pic Center as we called it was an old Paramount studio with
one
huge sound stage an several smaller ones. In the basement was a small
pool
that Tarzan swam or swung across. I spent a great deal of time
traveling
shooting bits and pieces for what we called "Nut and Bolt" films, most
of
which I filmed with a 16mm Arri BL, loved that camera. The best nine
months
of my Army career.



Sounds like you should write more about your Army career - sounds pretty
fascinating!

cheers,

I should have said the best nine months of my three year career........lol
The Pic Center as we loveling called it was an interesting place to work.
