View From an Engine Front. Devonshire Scenery
This is one of the most varied "Phantom Ride" pictures ever taken, for during its run the audience is carried through all varieties of beautiful scenery. Past stations, over viaducts, under bridges, and through cuttings, the traveller is whirled at a tremendous rate and shown at the same time sorne beautiful glimpses of hill and valley, river and wood. As a clímax to a long ride- which covers nearly five miles of railroad - the train rushes over an ironwork bridge, whose overhead girders fly past at a dazzling rate, then over a stone viaduct crossing a broad river, and finally into a thickly wooded cutting at the other side of the stream. Owing to its great variety the interest is sustained throughout the entire length of the picture, which is one of the most genuinely exciting ever taken. (Taken from a special engine furnished by the London & South Western Railway Co.)

All our early films were 50 feet in length, and all of them were of actuality, open-air subjects. Nº 51 in the catalogue was 200 feet long, and we have never forgotten it, it made our arms ache so to wind it up ! It was one of those "Phantom Rides" taken from the front of a railway engine. The camera used was rather interesting for it was home-made, using a bioscope projector for its mechanism and having space for 1,000 feet of unexposed film in its upper chamber and a similar space below for the take-up. |
