Remembering Sheldon
“The bicycle on the cover was produced on the Management Graphics Table Top Slidemaking System at Crimson Camera Technical Sales in Boston. A bicycle enthusiast created the image using the tablet menu and cursor tracker. The bicycle is made up of 99 vectors, 20 circles, and 5 ellipses. This simple graphic was created to illustrate to customers what 4000-line resolution looks like.”
The “bicycle enthusiast” was Sheldon Brown who worked for a short time at Crimson Camera. Sheldon died eight years ago today.
