Making Electrons Count

Gosh. I Googled "Making Electrons Count", and now I really want to put
this thing up on a 16-mm. projector and watch it. Evidently, it's a
film from MIT, made in 1953, about their Whirlwind computer, parts of
which are now in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View. It was
the first computer to use core memory. (I read it someplace on the web,
so it must be true.)

Better yet, it would be nice to transfer it to digital media. Does
anybody know of facilities for converting 16 mm. to, say, MPEG?
Evidently, the film was intended for public dissemination, and contains
no copyright notice.
