Wow! That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Are any of them
still around anywhere?
Peace... Sridhar
Speaking of which this brings to mind another old
project idea I had that
never went anywhere. That was using a 3" scope tube to "write" to film,
and then after developing, to read it back again. I vaguely recall
"flying spot scanner" being somewhat related to this, I think there was
some equipment out there that'd actually take a 35mm slide. Though I'd
envisioned a roll of film, driven by a stepper motor.
Ever hear of the IBM 1360 photostore?

It was used a verb at Lawrence Livermore--as in "Your file has been
photostored." A very unfortunate happening...
