Nitrate vault explode with roaring fire
These are high-quality copies of Hollywood original optical and mag effects from the 1930s through the '60s, transferred to full-track tape by USC Cinema. I have digitized them for preservation, but they have not all been restored and may have some noise.

No, I'm sorry I don't have more information. All I have is the label that was on the little roll of mag. It does have that pulsing nitrate sound though. (Nitrate film generates its own oxygen when it burns, making it nearly impossible to extinguish.) If I had to guess, I'd say that, judging from the distortion, that maybe it's from a newsreel. Fox?
