Conrad, 
In the days when Kimball taught grand regulation for many years at the
Annual they ended with a showing of the high-speed film.  Roger
Weisensteiner, Ray Reuter and Eric Johnson taught the classes.
    Film was produced at the Photo Media lab at UW-Madison.  The
distinguished finger technique bending the key was mine.  I last showed the
film 2 years ago at the CWRS in Rochester.   Rick Florence, ASU, has a copy
which he has used for classes.
    I'm delighted to see interest.  If anyone does digital filming the
results should be a technical jump in producing facts and tons of data.
    A project waiting to be funded.
Joel
