Hi all... I wounder if any 'Catter out there can help me with a strange request. I have been asked to write a song to accompany a short film and it involves an old guy who was a cinema projectionist in the forties and fifties. I have a fair idea of how the song should go but I'm badly in need of some technical knowledge that I can incorporate into the lyrics to give the impression that I know what I'm talking about.
   
   Does anybody out there know anything about the type of cinema projectors that were used during this period. What were the makes used? How many frames per second ? That sort of thing.   I would be grateful for any help I can get and would welcome any suggestions of sites to visit to find what I'm looking for.

    I know full well that all knowledge is to be found here and I look forward to seeing what this strange query might through up. Thanks in advance..... M
