[Frameworks] Articles/essays on the history of flatbed editors (Moviola, Steenbeck, etc)?

[George, Sherman]

You might try to find articles about the Kodak Analyst 16 mm projector. It was a mainstay in academic film studies. The projector allowed for frame by frame viewing both forward and reverse. The downside was that the projector destroyed film prints when over used.

I've found a few old articles on the Moviola in journals like American Cinematographer, but they're strictly trade press stuff, often just to advertise new product. I'm interested in how these devices like Moviola and Steenbeck helped foster new forms of film analysis (especially in the social sciences), and when they became affordable/available beyond big studio production. Any suggestions would be immensely helpful.
