That makes sense. There's a groove on the journal. I was thinking that maybe there's a spring clip that fits over that, but that doesn't make sense. How would you get to it? Your suggestion works better. The spoke pulls on the bracket and the tension keeps the other end of the bracket in...

It seems that there was a trend in the '30s, '40s and early '50s for smaller wheels and larger hubcaps. And baby buggies that look like cars. This one is close. Very close. You can see that the surface on our left is actually flat with its own small rim. The major difference is...

Good grief. It was staring right at me. Same thing in my two different examples. I was wondering what that bracket on the cap is for. It has one spoke attached to it; probably for stability. Anyway... it's the same damned cap. One from eBay and one from a YT video. Not at all related...

Strongly disagree. This is a premeditated model hoax photo, with quite a lot of work put into it.

Why this flying saucer is not a butterfly. 1. It doesn't look like a butterfly. Not even slightly. 2. It doesn't fit the circumstances. A butterfly belongs to the type of - "I didn't see it at the time, but I saw it later when I looked at the photo!" - UFO case. This case is not that. All...

Why this Flying Saucer is not a service bell. When the nut on top of a service bell is pushed down, this is what the internal clapper mechanism does. Go to 0:26. -There could be no sleeve or barrel of the type seen here - red arrow. The clapper mechanism wouldn't work. The clapper would be...

Someone else has already done the research and has identified what this object is. It's part of a baby buggy wheel. It's not just a hubcap. It's an assembly. It's a heavy rim that fits into the wheel hub, an integral bearing sleeve and a hubcap, all together. The hubcap is on our left and...

The darker part along the top part of the rim is a specular reflection of the blue sky. The even darker part along the bottom part of the rim is a specular reflection of something below the object. We won't ever know exactly what that is. Tree, roof, fence...

Today's Live Stream Interesting design for the thumbnail. Why do I have Three Blind Mice running through my head?

I can speculate. He made an honest mistake, due to poor memory.

This model UFO has a shiny surface. It's either chrome-plated or nickel-plated. We see mirrorlike reflections on (in?) the surface. Specular reflections. Red Arrow - blue sky Green - white cloud Purple - Something (mostly) below the object. Maybe a tree and a corner of a roof? The...

Let's compare these pack film prints from contemporary ads: Yeah, they seem to be 4:3. Compare Integral film

I want to make up for some mistakes I made earlier. I was relying too much on: -Personal experience with limited info. -Personal experience as a child with a child’s perceptions. -Old memories with some confabulations. In short, I was rushing. I’m going to make up for that. A summary of the...

The positive print is peeled off the negative, with the back of the camera open. More of a delicate, fiddly thing to do. It would be very hard to put an existing positive print back onto a negative strip convincingly enough to fool someone who was knowledgeable and paying close attention...

-What you are pulling out the side of the camera - the tab - is the previous negative. This advances the film roll. Found out some things: -The reason I don't remember doing the coating process: That was only for B&W prints. The Polacolor process didn't require it. So there would be no...

Kind of embarrassing as he doesn't know where this image came from and thinks it real, therefore the Jellyfish balloon cluster has been identified. The image has been floating around the Internet and info has been garbled. Just as in his own "ghost story" explanation of how stories change in...

Possible. But tricky thing for a naïve amateur to do. Lighting has to be right. Holding the camera straight so the plane of the film is parallel to the plane of the print. Holding the print flat. How would I do it? A large print tacked all along the edges to a board. Or glued. The board is...

To clarify. The "watching the photo develop" was a '70's thing. Whole new process that came out in 1972. Called integral film. People really went ga-ga for it. That's when "Polaroids" really became a thing. It's the kind of print you see popping out of Lydia's camera in Beetlejuice...

Type 47 was a fast B&W film. Type 48 was a color film. Same size. Just like you could put Tri-X 400 (B&W negative) or Kodachrome (color slide) in your 35mm camera. Same size, but different kind. Difference is that Type 40 film was proprietary. There were lots of Polaroid camera models that...

35mm film is a size. There's lots of types of 35mm film. Type 40... same thing. It's a size. There were different types of film in that size.
