Astonishing - it defies belief that they were taken 70 years ago - I couldn't get that quality now , in the so - called digital age !

Tremendous. 4"x5" Kodachrome explains the fantastic resolution.

Just stunning pictures, like the reel of wax string to complete wiring in switch gear panels.

I've still got some of that (well, mine's actually waxed nylon) which was used in the Polaris subs. My dad got it from Laird's.
