Examining Apollo Moon Rocks - Report 57 (1969)

This 16mm reel No. 57 in the NASA Aeronautics And Space Report series shows us some very interesting and rare views of the various kinds of equipment and processes used in the analysis of the Apollo 11 lunar return samples, with many of the scientists discussing the initial findings that they had in 1969. Fascinating historical stuff! This reel was transferred from my own 16mm archive print using my Eiki Telecine. The Eiki projects a 24fps print at 30 frames per second for a flickerless NTSC transfer. A special diffusion plate eliminates the 'hot spot' of the projector, and the sound is pulled right from the optical track.
