About this Blog

Growing up in a family involved in film, television and theatre, I have always been interested in the technologies associated with these. This blog started with a project undertaken in 2009 to rebuild an old Pathé Marignon 9.5mm film projector which had belonged to my father, Denzil Howson. Posts about restoration of the Pathé Marignon projector are currently on blogspot at the following url: projectorbench.blogspot.com Since then it this blog has expanded to cover on-going restoration work on film-related technologies.
