60 Hz Vs 50 Hz

Ross, I've *told* you that he *is* DarkMatter (a.k.a. DimBulb), as well as any number of other stupid aliases along the way. He's the same technician with dreams of being an engineer, when he grows up (though in his late '40s or '50s I'd think it's a tad late to think about that now).

What part of "nine inches" did you not understand, TWIT?

It didn't protect us from you retarded, top posted SPAM about it.

You hypocritical retarded bastard!

Ok...I got that obnoxious add shut off.....

I see that you did move to Florida. Email me sometime, I think I'm just a few miles north of you.

The 24 fps film speed is high enough to produce the effect of smooth movement, but a 24 Hz. flicker would be terrible. Film projectors have a two blade shutter, or a single blade running at twice the speed which has the same effect, so that each frame is shown twice, and the flicker rate is increased to 48 Hz. There is no standard speed for silent films; they were generally shown slightly faster than they were made, and later ones tended to be made at higher frame rates than earlier ones. By the late silent era speeds of aroubd 20 fps were common. Until the end of silent films most cameras were still hand-cranked, so they were shot at whatever speed the operator turned the handle, which could vary considerably. Three blade shutters are sometimes used when running silent film.

Weren't silent films at the mercy of the hand-crank operator? This would seem highly variable. Or was there some sort of governor inside those old cameras?

Hi Michael,

Yes, I took the plunge and moved to Lake County, bought a business and glad retirements over....bored me to death!...I'd be glad to email you if I had your address...I remember your posts when I was considering moving here and as I remember you were in Marion County...in any event, it would be nice to stay in touch and you have to love a state that has a 3 week winter!....take care Michael.....Ross

One would think that the already quite common moving vane "governor" regulator (like those on huge generators only smaller) would have been incorporated. Or since they came from AC gen sets, perhaps Edison did not know of them or refused to use them. :-]

Also, just so you know... MODERN projectors use 24 fps, and do NOT flash each frame twice.

I hope you get hopelessly and painfully maimed by an alligator, and then eaten by the prolific buzzard population, even more slowly and painfully.

Thank you so much for the kind words Roy "Darkmatter" Fuchs.....and may the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits!....Ross

You deserve every sentiment.

Why would you wish that on the fleas? Even fleas deserve better than being fornced to live near Roy.
