Anyone have a photo of Early Theatre System

[airboss]

I'm educating another forum on the origins of Theater Sound Systems, Western Electric, The All Technical Company etc.

Can anyone source a photo of the equipment behind the "Screen" of those early theaters?

Thanks

Thanks GM. Give us a heads up on the address when you get it. I don't get over there often but I'm registered.

We don't have an airboss over at diyAudio. What is your username and I'll make sure your account is up to date.

Hi Cal:
I think I'm either skyboltone or Danny Hall over there. I'm often confused. This cognomen, (airboss) dates from an earlier life when I was the designated FAA "responsible person" of special airspace at airshows. I should probably change everything to skyboltone or airboss but most forums won't allow changes.

Well, I see some of the links I have are now posted and the others that are long gone, but could be accessed using the Wayback Machine are now giving me a 'data retrieval failure' message, so that only leaves my copy of them. Unfortunately, I've had no luck uploading them (.html) along with their picture folders and getting them to display properly, i.e. pictures embedded in the pages.

So, anybody know if it can be done and how to do it?

What I've received is enough for the bunch I'm trying to educate GM so no hurry. I'm thinking all of this fit's into the plans being laid in the "Log on issue" thread. Thanks all of you for your assistance. Those were exiting times. Somehow somewhere I guess folks working with ones and zeros think these are exiting times too but I don't grok.

I could feel it at the old Del Mar theatre in Santa Cruz in the '60s.
