I see only two yellow curb markers, at around Z 309+ and 356. This is
the "kill zone". Judging from photos and film showing the north side of
the street (the grassy knoll side), there are no
visible yellow curb markers.
Someone had mentioned, I think Rick, that these markers seen in the Z
film are still present. Someone checked for me just yesterday, and they
are no longer there, which would be expected considering weathering,etc.
For all I know they went the way of the Stemmons Freeway sign which was
removed mysteriously shortly after the assassination.

One thing I adhere to is to not add anything to a photo
(i.e. enhancement).
A volunteer may be creating a 3 dimensional photo of
the people behind the fence. I believe it will be an
enhanced photo as well. I'll keep you posted on this,
if it develops. It will depend largely on his skills.
What do see as possible benefits of sharpening knoll photos?
Sam
Well, one thing that you can do with a simple (pardon me if you know all
this already) image editor nowadays, is edge detection, sharpening/blurring
of the image, and a few other tricks you can use to bring out objects that
are normally hidden. The information is there, even if it is dispersed a
bit.

Well, I understand what you mean, but I don't mean doctoring a picture to
show something that isn't there. I'm referring to the image processing
technicques used most often in the UFO debunking field. With edge
detection you'd see a line where that wire is holding up that UFO, even if
it doesn't show up on the picture, but the impression of it on the negative
is still there.

That would be interesting. I'm not sure what it would reveal, since the
image is pretty blurred to begin with, it would be just a lot of peaks and
troughs, with nothing in the middle. But I hope it turns out better.
> What do see as possible benefits of sharpening knoll photos?
It would take any blurry edges and possibly sharpen an image. Imagine
staring at something unfocused and having a picture like that. The image
is a bit dispersed (i.e, blurry). Sharpening will remove (somewhat anyway,
since it is subject to interference) the dispersion. You should be able to
take a blurry picture of something, perform some sharpening on it, and
remove some of the blurriness. Doing that to some of the photos may reveal
more information.
Mostly what I'm after is to recover more information from the photos. The
information is there. The correct image processing needs to be done to
bring that information out.

Another yellow strip shows around Z382 (between Hill and Jackie)

I notice on a copy of a "Cutler" map markings on the south side of Elm
that
seem to match the locations of the yellow marks.

I was not implying you mean that, I merely state what I do.
I am silent on how this might be applied in any other sense.

A little humor here:
I don't recall seeing any UFOs behind the
fence on the grassy knoll, do you?

I see the photo as more of too low a resolution as
opposed to being blurred. I have had numerous
people inform me they can take what is present
and add to it until the detail is plainly visible by
anyone (in other words, to make what looks
like a "regular" discernible photograph out of it,
if I'd like to see it that way, but I'd rather see it
as it is.

I organize my resources in the juggling pattern that
works for me. Looking more closely at the photo
you mention is not a priority with me right now. I
am hopefully not, with my conversational comments,
discouraging others from such pursuits.
It might be interesting to look at if such work is
ever done.

Hopefully my work shared with you has

One thing I might mention, that someone brought
up at a party I was at last Saturday night, is that
my unaided vision is somewhere between 20/15
and 20/20 in both eyes.
I may have an unrealized advantage at looking
at things.

Thanks for the data James. What is a "Cutler" map?
Sam
Cutler's map is of Dealey Plaza that I downloaded somewhere, sorry I
can't remember where. It seems to show a publish date of 1970. I'm sure
someone here can provide better details. I was curious as to what the
symbols related.
James
Will you e-mail me a copy of it?
That's an interesting thought as to the "symbols related."
Thanks.

Bob Cutler is well known for his maps. Some of them are based on the
West map which can also be found in the book Six Seconds, which marks
the location of a couple of yellow lines.

I understand your stance on the subject (at least I think that I do). The
point I was trying to make about performing the image processing on the
photographs (any and all) was to bring out detail that is there, even if it
can't be seen with the unaided eye.

Well, too low of a resolution. There's also a technique in image
processing (first let me state that the entire field of signal processing
applies to images as well) to "enhance" photographs. This isn't anything
special other than to "fill in the spots between the dots". But it can
enhance the information that's already there.

I didn't just mean that photograph, but just about any that aren't in sharp
focus.

Not at all.

If I can get my hands on high resolution photographs or copies of them, I'd
like to piddle around and see what sorts of things I can find. I'm curious
about some of those photographs that showed the boxes in the TSBD had moved
in a span of 2 minutes.

Lol... as long as *you* don't see UFO's in the pictures, I think you'll be
okay.

A fifth yellow curb marking can be seen at Z406, between Hill's right
arm and his body. This one is difficult, but was found using Cutler's
map.
He shows all five of the yellow curb markings on his map and,
apparently, no
others.
About the map version I'm using. The scale at the bottom is only about
1/2 of what it must truely be to reflect any of the measurements I have
seen published. I can't
vouch for the authenticity of the map I am using.
James
Sam
Correct. They play a major part in proving the zfilm fake. See
my video THE GREAT ZAPRUDER FILM HOAX.
JACK
Vern, who ever checkedfor you did not do you justice. The yellow paint is
still there. Hard to see the first time but after locating these sectios,
they are easy to spot. I know. I hit DP several times a month.
Michael Parks
Jack, there are close to a dozen yellow painted curbs in DP. Regretfully,
you fail to mention this in your video. I fail to see how these sections of
curb prove a conspiracy or the Z-film was faked. Sorry. Three sections are
seen in the Z-film, in their proper locations.
Michael Parks
Guess my "spotter" didn't have his glasses on the other day. You say
these yellow curb markers are still vsible, although faint. Are there a
total of five ? Are they regularly spaced, and of the same length? Are
there any before about Z 305? Do they end near the storm drain?
Are there any markers on the north side of Elm? Are there any
comparable markers on Main, or elsewhere in the Plaza? Sorry about all
the questions, but I find it interesting, and have not heard a credible
"innocent" explanation for
them.--------------------------------------------Vern
Anxious to get your video. Will order soon.
Apparently, there are as many as five yellow curb markers on the south
side of Elm. I assume none have been found on the north side. Is this
true?--------------------------Vern
Michael, do you mean a dozen yellow painted
curb markers, or sections, as opposed to
what you said?
> Regretfully,
> you fail to mention this in your video. I fail to see how these sections of

I am reading this as you fail to see how these
sections of curb prove a conspiracy and also
fail to see how they prove the Z-film was faked.
Consider this, if you wish:
President Kennedy is shot in the head
from the front and the rear, within a split
second, as the Presidential limousine
passes one of the yellow curb markers
(see Zapruder frame 309 to 313 -
my messages containing Zapruder frames
309 and 356 may still be on this
newsgroup).
What was the stated purpose for those
yellow markers ever being painted on
the curbs originally?
What exact date were they first painted
on the curbs in Dealey Plaza?
> Sorry. Three sections are
> seen in the Z-film, in their proper locations.
Yes, they are where they are. Also, the two
people behind the fence on the grassy knoll
I have discovered in the Zapruder film
are in their (im)proper locations also.
You can see these people in my photo analysis
of Zapruder frame 468under the header here
titled "9 Seconds Later Behind The Fence - With
Index."
One is the shooter wearing the white cap,
whom I also discovered in the Mary Moorman
photo, as shown in my "Final Photo Analysis"
under the header here of the same name.
The Zapruder film is a valuable piece of
evidence.
So is the Moorman photo.
They are bricks in the "wall of evidence."

Vern, to save my butt, I can not find my figures but I'll be in DP this morning and will
remeasure them for you.
Going on memory, the was 41 feet between the east most strip and the second strip; 47 feet
between the second strip and the third. These are the 3 seen in the Z-film. The first is seen
at Z300 between Moorman and Connally. The second is seen at Z-355 behind Jackie while the third
is seen at Z-382 behind Jackie's butt. Nearer the underpass, there are 2 or 3 more. Each is a
full 60" curb section painted yellow. On the mirror curb of Commerce (the north curb) there are
the same number of strips and in roughly the same locations. Remember, this is going by memory.
In Killing Kennedy (Livingstone) plat 16 shows all three Z-strips. From the left hand edge of
the picture, measure over 3/4" and note the lighter curb section. That's the east most section.
At 3 1/2" is the second while the third is at 4 3/4". Hope this helps.

Good man. These sections were bright in 1963 and hard to see now. I know of no reason for them
being there. There was no 'no parking', 'no stopping', 'no standing', 'no itching', or 'no
picking' printed on any of the full sections.

If the kill zone began at 309 do you suppose that the possible earlier
one
or two shots, excepting whatever caused the throat wound, could have
been
someone trying to warn JFK?

VERN, sorry for that last post. About the yellow painted curbs, there are 12 in DP. Six can be
found on the south side curb of Elm and 6 on the north side curb of Commerce. Three of the Elm
sections can be seen in the Z-film. These section average 60 inches long (not 48 as reported
by another researcher). If the first section was seen in Z-300, going towards the underpass,
there are 8 more sections before the next yellow one. Then, here are 8 more sections to the
last one seen in the Z-film. After this, there are 17 sections before the first of the
underpass sections. Three more sections to the fifth yellow and then 2 to the last yellow.
The sections on Commerce are almost, but not quite, a mirror-image of Elm. Hope this helps.

Greetings, pardon my interjection but I'm somewhat perplexed here.
My understanding is that the purpose of yellow curbs is to designate
no-parking areas on a street that would otherwise allow parking.
However, was not Elm Street in 1963 some sort of expressway that didn't
allow parking anywhere in DP, and if so, what was the purpose of those
yellow painted curbs?

Seriously, anyone, my original question: is there an innocent
explanation for these markers? still has been unanswered.------Vern
Vern, my questions are:
On what exact date did they originate?
What was their stated purpose when originated?
Also, consider the implications of the ones on
the curb on the north side of that other street (not Elm).
Sam
I have no idea. I understand they were no freshly painted before 11/22/63.
MP
Michael, by "freshly painted before 11/22/63" do you mean
created right before 11-22-63, as in a few days or weeks
before 11-22-63, as opposed to months or years before
11-22-63?
Sam
You say you "understand" that the yellow curb markers were not freshly
painted prior to 11/22/63.. Do you have a source for that information?
If they were present more than a month (i.e. prior to the patsy's TSBD
employment), then the markers do have an innocent explanation, even if
we still don't know what it is. Maybe someone living in the Dallas
area could make inquiries with the city-- street maintenance records,
etc. Then we can at least put this matter behind
us.--------------------Vern

Vern, a sniper does not need audible interference from a radio or to
be distracted by someone relaying to the sniper what is said over a radio
when the target is in sight.
The sniper's focus would be on what is seen, ultimately in the scope.
The birght yellow curb markers would be unmistakable visual markers.
It appears any evidence of when the markers were created may
be lost forever.
Maybe someone has photos of Dealey Plaza from 1963
before 11-22-63 either showing or not showing the markers.
In any event, they would have been unmistakable visual markers.
Sam
EVIDENCE MAY EMERGE THAT THESE MARKINGS WERE PAINTED
ON 11-22-63.
JACK
Whoa ! That will be extremely interesting evidence!
Sam
Take a look at the curb marks in the Atkins film, which offers the
clearest view of them on November 22, 1963. It is also noteworthy that
they weren't just on Elm Street, but on the other streets in the Plaza.
There is no indication they had anything to do with the Kennedy
assassination.

Martin the evidence points to four 'kill zones'. You have the three yellow
curb sections seen in the Z-film, and the three on the same side of Elm near
the underpass. If they did not get JFK in either of these two spots, they
were to make a U-turn onto Commerce and use the two sets of three yellow curb
sections there.

Actually, an interesting question arose while reading your post here Michael.
Did Chauncey Holt have yellow paint and stencils in the trunk of his
1961 Oldsmobile behind the fence on the grassy knoll on 11-22-63?
