Jeff hit a bit of a snag which has now been resolved. The cutting edge super-resolution software Jeff wants to use is not commercially available. He was able to do a rough proof-of-concept test using a "watermarked" demonstration copy. The results were excellent. He got in touch with the developer and was able to arrange for TIGHAR to get a free license to a full copy the software. Jeff is now setting up all the parameters necessary to run the full program on the digitized images from the 16mm film.
Also, in mid-July, TIGHAR videographer Mark Smith and I are scheduled to meet with metallurgists at a lab in Massachusetts who are experts in the mechanical failure of metals. They will examine Artifact 2-2-V-1 to determine how each of the four edges of failed - what forces were required to cause the damage and what events or tools may have been used.
