Back to the Future

wanted to say thank you for making this. this is one of my favorite pros. I need add some brown play doh to mine to make it look movie accurate.
 
Thanks to @Roland and his images, it looks almost like a black and white map of the central and western United States's time zones...upside-down. Which is why there are multiple tiny clocks above the differently shaded grey sections.

EDIT: The closest thing I was able to find on short notice: http://www.quill.com/incentive-pads/cbs/255028.html?cm_mmc=SEM_PLA_OS_255028


It just needs to be in black and white, not have Canada on it, and be upside-down.

...I think that just about confirms it. It shouldn't be too hard to make one from scratch.


Coincidentally, this link



... has a different view of the clip.

Cropped, enlarged and rotated.

Great picture, Alan. Now we can recognize the head line: "Telephone Area Codes and Time Zones". :)

Does someone remember if there was some posts about the paper on the pocket of Doc ?

hi I'm not sure if I'm right but I think I read somewhere that this is some sort of map! Can't remember ...........



Hi Guys,

I found this file on September 1, 2011. This isn't one of my subscribed threads, otherwise I would have chimed in 4 1/2 years ago. :)
But yeah, that continuity polaroid is the best view of the piece of paper clipped to Doc's pocket, and I used the same thing to search when my friend and I were preparing our costumes for Dragoncon 2011. I **couldn't believe it** when at that point a few minutes on the internet googling time zone maps found the EXACT thing.
File attached. Enjoy everyone!

-Derek

... I **couldn't believe it** when at that point a few minutes on the internet googling time zone maps found the EXACT thing.

Not 100 % exact. There are still a few differences to the screen used paper, but it's very easy to fix. On the screen used paper ...

... the title "Telephone Area Codes and Time Zones" is smaller
... there's more space between the clocks and the map
... the area codes of Yukon and Northwest Territories have their own line
... the tops of the gray backgrounds of the Pacific, Central and Atlantic zones line up with the borderlines of the states (for example: "403 YUKON" has a white background)

Apart from that, it's actually the exact paper. ;)

If people are interested, I could even create an accurate vectorized graphic for a better printing quality.

What would you say the dimensions are then?

Ohhh Roland! I expected no less from you!

thanks Roland really like your attention to detail! Nice one :)
 
Here's the Imperial Ice Cream logo.

I thought that poster in Doc's house might be some kind of informational poster about the electromagnetic spectrum, but I can't find a match.

It looks to be an overview of an eye x)

Not quite sure, but been looking a different planet size charts and graphs. Could it maybe be a line up of planets. Earth at the back, then a few other smaller planets overlapping in front. Also looking at the back on the door, looks to be a pin-up girl and also an British Bulldog standing on a blue/green platform picture on the back wall.

You know, the more I look at that, I'm willing to bet it came from the inside of a phone book. Like something they'd provide in the first few pages inside the front or back cover. The style of the printing, and the information given --- it makes a lot of sense. Don't know why that never occurred to me before.....
