104 year old film clip

[The Beep Goes On]

(email)

"You are there" for a cable car ride in San Francisco.

This film was 'lost' for many years. It was the first 35mm film ever that has come to light. It was taken by camera mounted on the front of a cable car as it`s travelling down the street. You feel as if your really there, standing at the front looking down the street, amazing piece of historic film.
The number of automobiles is staggering for 1906. Absolutely amazing! The clock tower at the end of Market Street at the Embarcadero wharf is still there...how many "street cleaning" people were employed to pick up after the horses? Talk about going green!

Great historical film!"
