Scans of old miscellaneous 16mm-related paperwork

[Duncan Brown]

I didn't see a topic for this (though searching on "scan" turns up a lot of posts on scanning film instead of paper so maybe I missed it!)  I wanted a place to link all my weird old 16mm related paper for historical purposes.  I've been posting Arriflex 16 manual and brochure scans in the Arri forum, but this will be for about anything else.

First one is just a weird sell sheet that was included with some Arri stuff I got.  It's for a Birns and Sawyer adapter to mount your Arri Standard Mount lens on a C-mount camera.  Check out the instructions - this was not for the faint of heart! Was their motto  "So simple even a rocket scientist could do it"?

I always post two links to my scans - the first one is a massive 600dpi file, so you can zoom n and see all the lovely details.  The second is 100dpi version, which is much more download-friendly but gets a little fuzzy if you zoom in to see the details better.

An example of what Title-Craft could output for you back in the day, using that order form:

That is interesting material. Nice quality too. Lots of the scans and PDF's I come across are garbage. It is refreshing to see hi quality archival material.

You need to put your collection on the Internet Archive. As long as you don't put too much porn or anti-democratic politics up there you should be safe for as long as the electric is on.

I can't say how much porn will kill your account. I put up a VHS trailer collection of a few dozen trailers from the 1980's and a collection of about 25 rare uncensored Japanese porn trailers and boom, they pulled the plug on me and no recourse to reinstate my account. I lost about 130,000+ uploads in an instant with no warning.

My account was only restored when I complained to their blogging person. He personally reinstated all of my material otherwise nothing would have been done. Really sad how much prejudice there is in the world.

Good luck with your archival work.
