STEENBECK ST701 C 35MM FLATBED EDITING TABLE
The Steenbeck flatbed editing suite is an editing table used to manipulate film for post-production. It was patented in 1934 by Wilhelm Steenbeck in Hamburg, Germany, though it was only by the sixties and seventies that it’s more advanced editions became common abroad, especially in Hollywood.
The machine had an edge over its predecessor, the moviola, since a Steenbeck could sync sound with the picture, play footage both forwards and backwards, and run the film at higher speed. It could also accommodate more than one reel, and had a bigger monitor, simple manual controls for playback, and softer rollers which handled prints more gently and safely. The ease with which the Steenbeck could be used to edit films made it a widespread system of technology until the beginning of abstract, digital non-linear editing in the nineties. Today the Steenbeck is still very much used for archiving and restoration of films.

4 GANG 35MM SYNCHING BLOCKTools and EquipmentsA synchronizer keeps film and sound track(s) locked together in the exact same relation to each other as you move from one part of the film to another. A synchronizer has one or more sprocketed wheels, called gangs, mounted on a revolving shaft. Sound and picture are mounted on separate gangs and are kept in sync frame by frame. Synchronizers are available with gangs of different gauges. This particular version is a 35mm 4-gang model.

BELL & HOWELL STANDARD SEMI-AUTOMATIC CONTINOUSTools and EquipmentsThe Bell & Howell Continuous Film Printer was used to print 35MM positive film from developed negative film. The printer was designed and manufactured in the 1910s by the Bell & Howell Company, renowned for their film and movie machinery.
Continuous film printers were made to improve upon slower step printers, but at the cost of clarity and sharpness. Bell & Howell addressed the faults of existing continuous printers by creating mechanisms for positive and negative film to line up perfectly for exposure despite the latter’s smaller size, and improving control of light exposure and smoothened movement of the film.
As further film technology developed, the Bell & Howell continuous printers were able to keep in step and accommodate such development as sound and color film, cementing their place as standard machinery for U.S film laboratories.
