Gear Manufacturing: The Precision Line (1964)

From Gears to Golf in scintillating Kodachrome! This promotional film by the Fellows Gear Shaper Company in Springfield Vermont has stunningly photographed footage of the processes and machinery for gear fabrication, and seems to have been intended as part sales pitch for machinery and part Rotary Club promo for Springfield. The age of the film is approximated by the new '64 Cadillac driving through one shot, but otherwise is undated. This reel was transferred from my own 16mm archive print using my Eiki Telecine. The Eiki projects a 24fps print at 30 frames per second for a flickerless NTSC transfer. A special diffusion plate eliminates the 'hot spot' of the projector, and the sound is pulled right from the optical track.
