[Leica] Flip Shulke

[Bill Pearce]

I remember these things from the very early seventies, when I was working 
for a local TV station. One of my jobs was to take what we then called 
wirephotos, stick the flimsy sheets of paper to a piece of black cardboard, 
and hand color them with art markers. Seems so archaic now, but it was the 
best we could do with the color options of the day. I'm thinking they were 
operated on dedicated phone lines, as there was no other choice then, our 
network stuff came over landlines supplied by the (evil) phone company. 
Those were the days, ride our dinosaurs to work, hand color photos, then go 
out and shoot silent film with clockwork powered cameras, and hit the air.
