Gran doing a Demo
Tuesday, 2 April 2013
Clearing out my hard drive, I’ve just come across this footage. My grandfather marketed turbines. Or something. I think they had to be started by hand? Anyway, here’s Gran giving a demo. He shot this on 9.5mm film and, although I have his projector, it’s a fire hazard. I scanned in a few frames instead and lined them up using the sprocket holes. I have quite a lot of this film, mainly with Gran cranking stuff, but I also have footage of the first elephant in Aberystwyth. Or something. Click the link below. This must have been in the 1930s. Or something.
