The Paines and the Minox Camera Charade
#8
The mentioning of the Minox as found at the Paines is spread out over a number of documents the FBI could not get the DPD to change, nor it seems did they even know these other pages existed.

Armstrong says the Minox at the Archives was sealed shut with what he said felt like it was filled with cement.

Notice please the 5-digit serial number of the Minox returned from Dallas field office to FBO HQ in the 2/2/64 Airtel... this is the "not available to the public" group of serial numbers on cameras sold only to the US intelligence services.

In a number of places the DPD wrote and rewrote the inventory which was numbered and photographed prior to the FBI taking all the evidence the 2nd time.

It is H.W. Hill's name on each of the Inventory Sheets.... Thanks to John Armstrong's great work acquiring these docs - I suggest reading the portion of H&L devoted to this issue. The following images come from the accompanying CD to the book.

Yet it is Gus Rose who writes in his reports that it was HE the FBI came and asked to change the inventory sheet 11192-G
