[StartQuote] Hi Ed . . . Glade to hear from you. I've tried repeatedly for more than seven years to borrow them as well as all the other microfilm at HQ., to no avail. They just will not release them or loan them out of the HQ archives. It's for the fear of losing them or damage that might occur in transit or at someone else's hands. I've even mentioned that you had asked me to barrow your donated microfilm, and again no luck. I offered to have them scanned by my profession microfilm house at my cost, then I would create exclusive DVD's for HQ to sell, as a fund raising tool, just like my DVD sets I furnish to them free to sell at what ever price they wish. This was also offered for many items, including other microfilm on file, digital conversion of all the film footage, and many of the specialty books and manuals at HQ. Specially the four-volume set of Assembly Instructions for Elco 80 kit boats sent to the west cost. I offered to produce all at my cost with the caveat that I would keep one copy for my private use, and produce data and video DVD's for HQ to sell to all interested. Microfilm scanning - I've tried to scan my purchased microfilm on my flatbed scanner with film inserts and to other slide scanners devices, all with less than desirable results. First the microfilm frame size, although 35mm film, is larger than a photo slide resulting in image cut-off. It wasn't until later that I sent them out to a company that knew what they were doing on specialized microfilm scanners. Scans were Bi-Tonal TIFF files (42" x 20" finished size approx.) at 300 DPI, resulting in a very large 8 - 9 mb file each at 12,000 x 6,000 pixels. Pat: The scans on the DVD sold by HQ, were scanned from reels of microfilm purchased from the NARA and film reels graciously loaned to me by Al Ross. [EndQuote]
