Me, aged 16, standing beside number one machine showing “The Vikings” on Thursday, July 25th, 1963. The photo was taken by chief operator Arthur Shea (1928 - 2010) using my Ilford Sprite 127 camera. It had no flash attachment, so we struck up the carbon arc on number two machine on twenty amps and opened the side door of the arc, which flooded the projection room with enough light to take the picture by. The full forty amps would have been far too bright. Primitive times indeed.
