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

[Francisco Torres]

Back in the 50s-80s there were some magazines geared to the audiovisual
educational field (like the one called Audio Visual instruction) that had
articles about equipment and its use, trends,  resources, etc. They covered
things like flash cards ,slide projectors, tape recorders, 16mm projectors
etc.
Maybe they published articles about flatbeds as study tools.
