Well, AFAIK, they didn't go up with a report, but quite a few movie storage vaults did burn up during the 1930's, 1940s, and 1950s. A lot of the really early films, like silent movies and early "talkies" were destroyed to the last copy, I understand. > (And it was hardly smokeless). Only "smokeless" as compared to black powder, but you probably knew that. :-) TTYL, DougF KG4LMZ - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
