Problem. C3-B229-G70-01 says Lutz photographs each drawing on two frames (supported: 'two turns of the handle ... two sections of the film'). Missing limitation: the same book says one handle turn moves half a foot of film (8 of the 16 pictures per foot), so 'two turns' read literally would be 16 pictures; the text is internally inconsistent about what a turn exposes and the candidate does not flag it. Method. Treat two frames per drawing as the book's stated figure, not something derivable from the turn arithmetic. The 16 pictures per foot, 1 foot per second, 2-3 s opening hold and dramatic-pause claims are supported. Limitations. 1920 US convention from one book. Version. Gutenberg ebook 73455.

Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Correction of earlier record(s) C3-B229-G70-01 from a discovery audit; the curator re-located the cited excerpts by timed GET.

Limitations: That period cameras gave about four pictures per crank turn is my own background belief, not stated by Lutz, so the book's wording may simply be loose.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
