The Pageant Analyst was by no means the first analysis projector. The use of 16mm for motion analysis came about during WWII with the introduction of gunsight cameras and there were a number of projectors like the hand-cranked Devry and the Speco which were intended for screening gunsight films one frame at a time (and which were all very rough on film).
After the war, the use of high speed photography of machinery and of stop frame photography for analysis of slower processes like traffic and assembly line work brought about the Analyst. But... these machines were not intended for editing work. They were very different in application than the flatbed. While flatbed and upright editing machines did get used for analysis work, that wasn't their original intent. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
