I can't remember how it was that I stumbled across that film in the first place, but it connected so many dots for me in understanding the whole wire photo process that I feel I have to share it whenever possible. If only there were old informational films dealing with every question I have about the "good ol' days" and exactly how things worked! I still find the whole system pretty amazing, especially considering when it was implemented.

But yeah, I'm glad everyone appreciated it, and I'm sure I'll trot it out again next time a question is asked about wire photos

Polite corrections for unidentified and misidentified photos appreciated. Rude corrections also appreciated, but less so.
