It's been quite some time ago, but I was once "checked out" on the 
Technicolor three strip camera at Allan Gordon Enterprises. I was startled 
at the time to learn that it used dichroics, as I had thought dichroics 
were relatively new (ah, the arrogance of youth).
In order to answer Peter Abrahams question, I've been trying to recall 
exactly where the filters were positioned. I think the filters were 
parallel the film, nearest the film plane. But the only thing I'm certain 
about, was that there was a bunch of stuff which had to be flipped out of 
the way to load the camera... and it still took small fingers and allot of 
patience.
