It's not a comprehensive list, though. What was your grandfather's name? If it was Gobbett, presumably he was Thomas James Gobbett (or else his brother, who I think was also in the film business) of the Precision Film Company, which was a British company in the early 1900s. No British cameramen worked for Kahn. I'll contact you away from the blog to see if I can help any further. I list all the cameramen I know of as part of the post.

Has anyone else done so? If they have, is it possible to get a copy done, or is this in breach of copyright? Delighted to hear there will be a book.
