Hello I'm seeking some advice around terminology. I've come across a few 35mm colour slide transparencies sandwiched between two pieces of glass and taped - from the 1950s. Has anybody seen anything…Continue

"It would be worth contacting the National Science and Media Museum in Bradford for info on James Jarche - they hold the photographic archive of the Daily Herald, one of the newspapers Jarche worked for in the 1930s/1940s."

Lantern slide or 35mm slide transparency?
Hello I'm seeking some advice around terminology. I've come across a few 35mm colour slide transparencies sandwiched between two pieces of glass and taped - from the 1950s.

"Spot on. Checking coating quality."
"This looks like a paper guillotine. Converting a slitting of paper into sheets. Not boring if you want to stay attached to your fingers!"
"This looks like a very basic film drier. A festoon of film was hung up with tension top and bottom in a climate controlled room. "
"This one is a more basic system. I am going to guess that it is the input end. Basic in that there is no base cleaning or input festoon. That must have been one boring job."
"Hi Nicola. I may be able to help with these. But not first hand - I didn't arrive at Mobberley until 1983!
This looks like the input (unreeling) or output (re-reeling) end of a film coating machine. I am going to guess that it is the output…"
