Jerry Logan Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) Bill, Since I started your original thread down a tangential road, I wanted to mention an observation that does address your initial purpose. You quote Horne..... ...""Homer McMahon consistently claimed that he had enlarged individual frames from the original film, and that he recalled it was a 16 mm wide unslit double 8 home movie. During the first McMahon interview, he stated he was "sure we had the original film," because "we had to flip it over to see the image on the other side in the correct orientation." McMahon confirmed this recollection of an unslit double 8 home movie with opposing image strips during his in-person interview which was tape recorded on July 14, 1997…" "…Although McMahon personally thought he saw JFK reacting to 6 to 8 shots fired from at least three directions, he said that the Secret Service agent arrived with his mind made up that only three shots had been fired, and that they all came from the Texas School Book Depository, behind the limousine." P 1224 "Both McMahon and Hunter said they had never seen the 3 legal-sized yellow pagesof notes related to the shot and timing analysis before. There was only one piece of paper among the original notes which contained the handwriting of either man—a half-sized sheet of yellow paper—the piece of paper upon which the handwritten entries 'shoot internegs, proc and dry, print test, make three prints,' and 'process and dry prints' are annotated, along with the respective times required for each step. McMahon recognized some of this handwriting as his own, and some of it as Hunter's. On the reverse side of this sheet of paper is a handwritten organization chart of the briefing board panels, and Hunter recognized two entries on this page as being written in his own hand." "Analysis: First of all, we can now state with certainty that NPIC never copied the Zapruder film as a motion picture, even though for years the NPIC notes had mislead some researchers into believing that it had. However, Homer McMahon's rock-solid certainty that the film brought to him was an original, unslit 16 mm wide, double 8 movie—and that it came from a classified CIA photo lab run by Kodak at Rochester—implies that McMahon and Hunter were not working with the true camera-original film developed in Dallas, but were instead working with a re-created, altered film masquerading as 'the original.'…" "…If McMahon was correct that he had viewed an original, 16 mm wide, unslit double 8 movie film the weekend of the assassination, and if it was really developed in Rochester at a CIA lab run by Kodak (as he was unambiguously told it was), then the extant film in the Archives is not a camera original film, but a simulated 'original' created with an optical printer at the CIA's secret film lab in Rochester." It seems to me that this is argument is based on an assumption - that all three copies as well as the original were slit and reassembled in Dallas. Horne says.... "Following their return to the Kodak lab at about 8 PM, the three Kodachrome IIA contact prints were developed by the Kodak staff and the 'first day copies' were then slit lengthwise, down the middle of the entire length of each film, per normal practice, and reassembled as 8 mm 'single perf' movies (presumably with the home movie shot on side A first, followed by the assassination film shot on side that could only be viewed in normal circumstances thereafter on an 8 mm home movie projector. The assassination film—either the slit original, or one of the 'first day copies'—was then viewed at the Kodak plant in its 8 mm configuration." However, there is no direct evidence of this. It's entirely possible that one of the copies remained in its original form. If that's so, then the film McMahon saw could have simply been a copy of one of the original copies. It's significant that McMahon does not mention or recall inter perf images, because only the original has inter perf images on the motorcade side. In fact, if the original was split Dallas, it's hard to understand why forgers would reassemble copies of the original and try to pass them off as originals - when it's clearly established that the original was now a 8mm single perf instead of a 16mm double perf. In fact, if I were going to make an assumption, it would be that the original A roll, the family pictures, never left Dallas for Life or anywhere else. Why would Zapruder want to give them up and why would Life want them. As I wrote, that's assumption and speculation, we'll never know unless more information comes to light. But until Horne can prove all the copies were split in Dallas all we're doing is assuming and speculating on 30 year old memories.

But until Horne can prove all the copies were split in Dallas all we're doing is assuming and speculating on 30 year old memories. Best to you, Jerry Hi Jerry, But we will know and we are not speculating on the memories of 30 year old memories since the Zapruder film has such exact and documented chain of possession and Provenance, which they went out of their way to establish. We are just getting started in trying to document all of this so it is a bit premature to say that we'll never know. If Doug Horne is correct, then the records will show what we want to know, and the more we look into it, the more witnesses and records we come up with, so why do you say we'll never know? I think it is all coming together, and we will know why there were two separate sessions enlarging Z-film frames at the NPIC, one with Dino and one with Homer, and both describe two different types of film, and that's one physical anomally, rather than a perceived anomally in the content of the film. While I accept Gary Mack's explanation for the anomalies in the content of the film, I am also trying to figure out why there were two separate sessions at the NPIC to enlarge individual frames and make briefing boards from the Z-film, which is described differently by the technicians who worked on it. And I don't accept your conclusion that we'll never know, as we are learning more every day, and it's getting exciting, isn't it? Have you heard Homer McMahon's tape recorded audio interview with ARRB? And many thanks for your interest, and questions and pursuit of the truth as I think we are closer now than ever before. And I don't think you are going down a tangital road, as this is where I too am going, and I like having others go down dark alleys with me, if you care to stick with this.

If that's part of the evil plan Bernice it's really, really subtle and I assure you, well beyond me. Bill, I'm with you. I've never been impressed with the "image anomalies", but some of Horne's information is new and exciting and I really want to know where it leads. That said, I think it's important to separate out the new facts from assumptions and speculation so we can determine what evidence is needed to really establish something interesting. It's definitely not my conclusion that we'll never know - but I do think there's more work to be done.

Jerry As with B., I'm tired of hearing "we'll never know," which used to come from the LN camp, but now comes from the CTs who have an agenda to advocate and are falling behind in the polls. I hear Jerry saying that we need more info, though James Douglas, in his Black Op Radio interview, said we don't need more information to know why JFK was killed, and I agree with Jerry, in that we really do need more information, not to convince ourselves, but to force the system to work. As for knowing more about the Zapruder film, I think that is forthcoming, as I learn something new about it every day, and there's still a lot of outstanding questions that seem like they can be answered. Like which one of the Z-films went to NPIC for each of the briefing board sessions that we know about, and who was briefed by the analysis done with the McMahon briefing boards? And did the Z-film take a detour to Rochester and "Hawkeye Works" and if so, why? And I like the way you put it, "...unless more information comes to light." Indeed, we must shine a light in there and if there weren't any shennigans then there shouldn't be any trouble locating the appropriate records and more eyewitnesses, and throw a spotlight on all the whole thing so we can really see what happened, not only at DP but at the other crime scenes as well.

B, EXCUSE CAPITOLS THANKS...MUCH.. Bernice and Bill, With all respect, that's not what I wrote. "In fact, if I were going to make an assumption, it would be that the original A roll, the family pictures, never left Dallas for Life or anywhere else. Why would Zapruder want to give them up and why would Life want them. As I wrote, that's assumption and speculation, we'll never know unless more information comes to light. " In short, we'll never know if Zapruder's family film left Dallas, unless we gather more information. I don't see how that's a ploy or clap-trap. I made it clear I was offering some speculation and suggesting that I could never be proven right unless we had more information. If that's part of the evil plan Bernice it's really, really subtle and I assure you, well beyond me. Bill, I'm with you. I've never been impressed with the "image anomalies", but some of Horne's information is new and exciting and I really want to know where it leads. That said, I think it's important to separate out the new facts from assumptions and speculation so we can determine what evidence is needed to really establish something interesting. It's definitely not my conclusion that we'll never know - but I do think there's more work to be done. Jerry Jerry, Certainly some of Zapruder's family film DID leave Dallas. A frame or two from the sequence of one of Zapruders children or grandchildren digging in a planter on a patio with a shovel was published in Esquire magazine, early 1970's as I recall. It accompanied the Stolley article on the film that appeared in that issue. Todd Here's one Todd...b Yep, that's one, the one I was thinking about. Thanks.

Pamela Brown Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Perhaps the best way to continue to move forward is to keep an open mind and simply document everything that is known about the provenance of the Zapruder film and its different generations of copies. All the new information gives us more to weigh and evaluate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd, As you've noted, my question is if the original family film ever left Dallas. If one or more copies were left un-slit then some family images had to leave - but not the original. So I think we're on the same page. However, I disagree with your analysis of the frame Bernice posted. I don't see the full inter-sprocket area but I do see the sides of the sprocket holes. However, although the sprockets are not visible on the motorcade copies, they are visible on the family film copies. Therefore the sprocket holes don't settle the issue of the source of this frame. It could be from the original or from a copy. BTW Bernice, I'm always amazed at the resources you have close to hand. Thanks for finding that image and putting it up.

Best to you both, Jerry Jerry, Certainly I see the partial sides (corners actually) of the sprocket holes in the picture that Bernice posted. When I wrote that it “has no sprocket hole image”, my meaning was that there is no filmed image visible between what we can see of the sprocket holes, not that we can’t see images of the sprocket holes themselves. Since the picture that we are looking at (the picture that Bernice posted) has no filmed image visible between what we can see of the sprocket holes, it cannot be a picture of the original film (or one of the first day copies) and must be a picture of a later copy of the film.
