Just found overhead slides (kids, go ask your supervisor what THOSE were) from my graduate student days as an astronomer building instruments - I was doing @wondermark cartoons before they were even a scratch on a mezzotint plate. #astrodon #dinosaur #mezzotint #kidsthesedays #overheadprojectorslides
I was told
circa 1980, a group of Italian scientists go to Rochester NY, to pitch their idea to Kodak (of course a the time the Google of its day)
The italians apologize: our slides are in a wierd format and we fogot the projector
The Kodak guys *stare and press a button and a wall slides down in the conf room and there is a slide projector for every format ever made
Kodak bestrode the earth like a giant, and then . .
@failedLyndonLaRouchite
Slides came in formats so varied there were different kinds of projectors!?
Clearly I'm much younger than I was aware of...
