Judy et al,

One of the problems we archivists have is the machine problem.
For example: Have you played any 8 track tapes lately? How about
78 RPM records?
One way of dealing with this is to save the machines and that is
what some archives are doing. I have saved a reel-to-reel video
tape recorder, a reel-to-reel audio tape recorder and a transcription
player.

I expect there will be 16 mm projectors around as there is some
much historic 16 mm film e.g. all the newsreels. Early TV, i.e.
pre-video tape, was all shot on 16mm.

Anyway, plans are to put a 16mm projector in our archives.
