				| 
 |  
				| I am looking for information on large format cameras and processing used in the years 1948-1966 at Cape Canaveral, Vandenberg AFB and White Sands Missile Range. Documents. images and contacts are all appreciated.
 I know Speed Graphics were used extensively at Cape Canaveral. I am also
 aware of forum member Ron Mowbry who has aided me in the past.
 
 Some facts I know of: Super-XX was one of the B&W films used.
 Ektachrome and Anscochrome were two of the color
 transparency films used.
 One photgrapher used an 8 x 10 Deardorff and Davis    and Sanford tripod.
 Tiltall tripods were used for the 4 x 5 press cameras.
 
 Thanks for any references or advice,
 
 Art

				| Arthur, IIRC there is something about this on the main Graflex.org site. |  |

				| Thank you. The only search I turned up was a previous post I had done in 2004 as art45. I know the odds are small I can find anyone who was there
 but perhaps there are contacts, photos, documents or websites someone
 knows about.
