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

[todd eacrett]

What were the little motorized desktop Moviolas, the LV or LY? The one 
every college football coach had in his office, according to Hollywood? 
Some serious film analysis happened on those. 
 
 
 

       Of course a lot of us used Steenbecks to edit films…  and still do. 

They were quite expensive so would not be commonly used by researchers 
not attached to institutions (or with large grants).
