|
|
I am looking for information on large format cameras and processing used
in the years 1948-1966 at Cape Canaveral, Vandenberg AFB and White Sands Missile Range. Documents. images and contacts are all appreciated.
I know Speed Graphics were used extensively at Cape Canaveral. I am also
aware of forum member Ron Mowbry who has aided me in the past.
Some facts I know of: Super-XX was one of the B&W films used.
Ektachrome and Anscochrome were two of the color
transparency films used.
One photgrapher used an 8 x 10 Deardorff and Davis and Sanford tripod.
Tiltall tripods were used for the 4 x 5 press cameras.
Thanks for any references or advice,
Art

Arthur, IIRC there is something about this on the main Graflex.org site. |

Thank you. The only search I turned up was a previous post I had done in
2004 as art45. I know the odds are small I can find anyone who was there
but perhaps there are contacts, photos, documents or websites someone
knows about. |
