There's a Universal Newsreel - I think in the context of an Eisenhower press conference - that shows cutting an acetate disc. It's at the National Archives, and I have a copy somewhere in my office, but I'd have to hunt for it. Can anyone else provide the reference? Also, the Lomax footage at the Library of Congress would be another. Oh, and the Lomax / Leadbelly March of Time.
