Ha. A significant part of my job at Kodak in the '80s and '90s was to photograph the various specialized film processing and handling equipment that we designed and built for the US Government. It was mostly for aerial work but also included the famous Versamats. The photos were for instruction and maintenance manuals... and were pure information, not pictorially interesting. I have prints of a few of those but have never digitized them; not exactly portfolio material, although it was honest work, and (dare I say it) competently done. And given the quantities that they were built in, certainly unusual. I like what I've seen here so far much better.
Mark in the mid 70’s I taught photography at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. I taught some evening classes and had a retired gentleman, can’t remember his name, that had been the engineer at Kodak in charge of developing processing equipment for the motion picture industry. He had also been involved in the development of the Kodak laminar flow processing drum for color prints. He said he tried his best to convince Kodak to put the print inside the drum not floating on a fluid layer on the outside. He was right.
