At NAB I signed up for membership after I found out they have gone through the effort of putting all their old technical documents online.
Here's a small clip ... in way of example from 1916:
"... The motion picture is making the whole world kin. It speaks the only universal language, understood by the illiterate of every tongue
as easily as by the learned, and is rapidly tending toward tolerance
in world thought. It not only shows us our distant neighbor, but also
shows us ourselves as he sees us. It is making of the world one
great family, and soon we will come to feel that we are a friend of
the man over yonder, because we know him so well from seeing him
in the picture so often.
... Let us, therefore, give of our best as we work at our craft. Let
us each be truly American, known the world over as the man who,
when’s he’s out for money doesn’t mind work, when he’s out for
pleasure doesn’t mind money, but when he is out for a principle
doesn’t mind either."
Very inspiring stuff I think. Also a lot of old school technical details with diagrams, marching all the way to modern theory. I really like the pre-1950 stuff though.
