[edit] "Sharing a single shutter?"

The article says

The original system involved shooting with three synchronized cameras sharing a single shutter...

Is this correct? How could three cameras "share a single shutter?" Weren't they just "synchronized," three shutters, pulldowns and all? Dpbsmith (talk) 00:16, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I've seen a Cinerama camera. Three film magazines, three lenses, one big shutter. Mackerm 06:58, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Can this be added ?

• Absolutely. Why not be bold and go ahead and do it yourself? Just give it a try. If you don't get the formatting right or something like that, other editors will be glad to tidy it up later. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:57, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
