The films: 2001 \u2013 A Space Odyssey<\/em>; A Clockwork Orange<\/em>, and Star Wars<\/em> are unforgettable to every science fiction buff but given their historical impact are known to so many more. Why these three films? Besides all three being trendsetting and iconic science fiction films of the 20th century \u2013 all have a common connection to the turntable industry. Does the name John A. Michell<\/strong> ring a bell? No. Well, let me tell you about this engineer that came out of the mid-60\u2019s. Along with establishing his own engineering firm, John<\/strong> built scale models, which
\nfortuitously led to his crossing paths with the American film director \/ producer, Stanley Kubrick<\/strong>. The outcome was John eventually building an essential scale model for Kubrick<\/strong>\u2019s transformative film, 2001 \u2013 A Space Odyssey<\/em>. The model, none other than the seminal spacecraft Discovery<\/em>. By 1969, Michell<\/strong> was involved in building turntable parts for Transcriptors<\/strong>, a British turntable manufacturer.<\/p>\n

Transcriptors<\/strong> relocated to Ireland in 1973, at which time J.A. Michell<\/strong> took on the full manufacturing of their turntables, under the name J.A. Michell Engineering Limited<\/strong> (MICHELL<\/strong>). It was about this time that Stanley Kubrick<\/strong> featured a Transcriptors<\/strong> Hydraulic Reference Turntable<\/em> in his film A Clockwork Orange<\/em> \u2013 second connection. I\u2019d guess that John<\/strong>\u2019s connection to Transcriptors<\/strong> and to Kubrick<\/strong> let to the turntable becoming part of film history.<\/p>\n

Now, the third spoke in this wheel around John, involves the film Star Wars<\/em>. On Star Wars<\/em>, John Michell<\/strong> contributed his talent to the building of set models us in George Lucas<\/strong>\u2019 ground-breaking film.<\/p>\n

One man, three iconic movies\u2026but wait\u2026we\u2019re just getting started. It was in 1977 that the first true MICHELL<\/strong> turntable was born \u2013 the Michell<\/strong> Reference Electronic<\/em>.<\/p>\n
