David J - I won't respond to your taunts as I would like to believe that when you eventually grasp the information that is being shared, you will briefly feel bad about what you said. And then you will feel really bad about describing Ralph Pearse's observation as "insignificant".
"the Secret Service was vitally interested in timing how many seconds occurred between various frames, and that Ralph Pearse informed them, to their surprise and dismay, that this would be a useless procedure because the Bell and Howell movie camera (that they told him had taken the movie) was a spring-wound camera, with a constantly varying operating speed, and that while he could certainly time the number of seconds between various frames if they so desired, that in his view it was an unscientific and useless procedure which would provide bad data, and lead to false conclusions, or words to that effect." (Horne Inside ARRB Vol. 4 p1233)
David - in reply 8 on the Muchmore thread you offered up a chart which sought to position Clint Hill in some sort of time relation to the limousines. The calculations (mph of the vehicles, Hill's footspeed, 1.1 seconds elapsed counted by 21 frames) are based on a frame count of the Zapruder film.
What Ralph Pearse is telling you from a remove of almost five decades, is that every one of those calculations and relationships are necessarily wrong and that any attempt to use the Zapruder film as a clock by which to measure such relationships is "unscientific and useless". And Pearse identifies why this is so: "the Bell and Howell movie camera...was a spring-wound camera, with a constantly varying operating speed..."
