I recall that it's 35mm. Popular Science and Unusual Occupations were produced as shorts to be shown in movie theaters. I don't think that the current owners of these films (Sheilds Pictures) has transfered any of them to 16mm, although it's possible that they are available on tape, as they were shown on American Movie Classics back in the late 1980's.

I also have the eye hook and want to try this out. I'd LOVE to find one of those old 'swivel bases' like she used on the floor...I never see those...anywhere?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doris DeGreen is my grandmother, so I would be happy to relay stories of her time as a speed bag puncher. As stated previously, she was featured in Life Magazine, Popular Mechanics and a Paramount newsreel (in the Unusual Occupations series). The newsreel is available on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_03KIDtZv9U. She also toured the country on a vauldville-like circuit.
Punching a speed bag is not that hard, but doing it well and for any duration is challenging. Add the blindfold or multiple speed bags, and it is a real skill. But, she was able to still hit a bag proficiently into her 70's.

and I purchased an original copy of the 1933 Life Magazine she appeared in. Sitting right next to my Vaggies post card.Last edited by Speedbag; 01-24-2013, 09:10 PM.Speed Bag
