My nephew, Jimmy Lee Slover narrates this video, which was taken round 1957-58.   Jimmy Lee transcoded the video from 8mm movies.  He was a control room operator at the time, as was my brother, James, before him.

After viewing the video, take a minute to read "My Behind the Locks Panama Canal Inside Story" where I detail some little known facts about the Canal and its operation.
