Thank you so much Janice, I really enjoyed that. What great footage; the 1st scene looked like Britain's General Haigh. I can imagine your excitement seeing the moving pictures for the 1st time after all your hard work.

I'm very impressed with you Janice, you take on these jobs and you get results.

What made it especially enjoyable, was not just the WW1 footage, but the fact that your film is itself an historic item and the projector used to screen it. Do you have any films with an earlier catalogue number. After all these years, I wonder how many copies survive of a particular film.

Looked at Grahame Newnham's listing of Pathe films; couldn't find this one, listed either alphabetically or numerically.

To use a Pathescope name, Janice, you have a real Gem. I believe that 9.5mm only lasted a short time in the USA. So, not only is it a Gem, it is a rarity.

Found it at last, date not given, but appears to be before 1920.

Estimating that the original owners of this projector bought the film in or before 1927 it's very possible that this particular reel hasn't been viewed in about 80-85 years. My son said it was like being in a time warp [Smile]

I'll post the complete WW1 reel for sure...I have to see what my best method for capturing will be. The home movies are much darker in contrast and will probably need some enhancement to make them better to view. I need to work on a couple of other projects too that I have been putting on hold...I'll alert you when I have more posted on YouTube [Smile]

Thank you Paul Adsett...Your trick with the rubber band saved me tonight. I started transferring to video the reels that came with my Pathe Baby. Seven out of the 10 wouldn't advance in the gate at all. I didn't see anything wrong with the film nor the claw...but the claw was not moving the film. Then I remembered what you posted about the notch lever. I found a rubber band and pulled back the notch lever with it. Loaded a reel... and presto...the film started feeding down the gate perfectly [Smile]

I'm not sure how great my transfers are going to be...but all the reels played thru to the end...SWEET! [Cool]
