This untitled, uncredited black-and-white silent home-style movie chronicles the process behind constructing a highway and connecting roads. Likely dating to the late 1940s or early 1950s, the film, which is set in a rural area of what is likely the United States, depicts the different steps behind constructing a highway from clearing the land to pouring and flattening the concrete. The film features lots of scenes of the machinery involved from what appears to be a CAT 633C Elevating Scraper to a CAT D9 Track-Type Dozer among others.
Film opens, aerial view from small plane of agricultural farmland below; Close-up of highways running through vast fielded areas (0:08).

,1,Made in 1937, HIGHWAY MANIA is an early driver safety film narrated by Lowell Thomas. It features stunning images of auto accidents, including some that are doubtless stunts from Hollywood films. At 1:43, there are images of the burning SS Morro Castle, a famous disaster that killed over a hundred;; yet Lowell Thomas says that today auto accidents claim four times that amount. At 2:00, a gigantic Florida hurricane is shown. The 1936 floods are seen at 2:20. "What can we do about the appalling loss of life?" says Thomas. He interviews Governor Harold G. Hoffman of New Jersey about traffic safety at the 3:00 mark, along with Commissioner McGee.
At 4:00, features of the New Jersey State Highway are seen that improve safety. The express highway shown is US Route 22, and at the time it was State Highway 29. The eastern 4 miles were all grade separated, as it was a connection to the Pulaski Skyway, which lead to the Holland Tunnel.
At 8:30, reports are seen that analyze varying accidents caused by bad driving habits. These habits are then shown in dramatic footage on the highway, with cars weaving in and out of traffic, driving on the wrong side, and even stopping on the highway to read a sign, passing on the left, etc.
Hand signals are shown at the 11:50 mark.
The film ends with various crazy stunts with cars, planes, and even horses — and these stunts are compared to the crazy drivers on the roads today. Be safe -- don't be a maniac driver!!
The express highway shown is US Route 22, and at the time it was state highway 29. The eastern 4 miles were all grade separated, as it was a connection to the Pulaski Skyway, which lead to the Holland Tunnel.
The NJ Turnpike did not open until 1951, and it was a black top highway. All of the NJ State Highways of the 1930s were done in concrete.

A horse carries the packs which the men use to move the crop down the lines of the groves (1:10). Large modern machinery then moves down the groves (1:33). The tobacco leaves are pulled from the plants by a conveyor running along the machine (1:57). A tractor then moves the leaves down a modern roadway (2:31). The leaves are tied and hung to dry as children of the farm workers stand nearby (2:56). The dried leaves are piled in stacks (4:25). Female African American workers sort through the leaves (5:49). These are layered onto the back of a pickup truck (6:17). The truck delivers the tobacco to a factory (6:54). Within the factory, long rows of the leaves are mounded into high piles (7:24). Lucky Strike factory workers inspect the piles (7:56). These are moved to a room where the leaves are pulled apart and sent down conveyor belts (9:22). The leaves are then crushed (10:44) in large cylindrical vats. The wooden cylinders or tobacco hogsheads are loaded onto the back of a long truck which transports them (12:00) to another factory (12:22). A forklift lifts the hogsheads / crates from the truck (13:12). The pressed tobacco from within the crates is viewed (13:28). Leaves are again pulled from the pile and inspected (13:40). The SS Mormac Isle cargo ship is shown in harbor (14:59) as well as the SS Ribeira Grande (15:02). The barrel-like crates are lifted onto the vessels for transport (16:50). The End (16:50).

The United States Department of the Interior Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration (MESA) (0:10) presents “Coal Miner Today” (0:14), a film introducing various coal mining tasks, the men who perform them, and how to enable a safe and healthful environment.
Miners arrive to work holding white pails (0:32). After boarding the mantrip (0:42), they enter the mine through an opening called a portal (0:59). The tunnel is surprisingly white, due to rock dust, a powdered limestone applied to the sides, roof, and floor to reduce the possibility of coal dust explosions (1:05).
Two miners look at a map (1:45). The men walk from the mantrip to their working places (1:49). The solid exposed surface of the coal seam being mined is called the face (2:00). The object is to extract coal from the face quickly, efficiently, and safely.
First, the roof is sounded; a miner strikes the roof with a hammer to gauge the roof’s density (2:21). He checks for methane gas (2:36), and uses a flame safety lamp to check for oxygen deficiency. (2:48). Brattice ventilation curtains are hung to direct air to the working face (2:55). More permanent air deflectors, or stoppings, are built out of cement blocks (3:04).
Steel safety jacks help support the newly exposed roof (3:12). A timberman installs wooden timbers for further support (3:25).
Another roof reinforcement method is “roof bolting” (3:40). The bolting machine provides automated, temporary roof support to protect the operator (4:02), who drills holes into the roof into which he will insert metal bolts (4:10). The idea is to clamp together the several layers of roof strata to form a more solid composite beam. Roof bolts often eliminate the need for timbering, allowing for more room for men and machinery. Special drilling equipment use hollow drill rods through which dust and cuttings are extracted (5:13).
The cutting machine operator undercuts the face of the coal, so it can be blasted down readily (5:26). A horizontal drill, or auger, drills holes into the solid coalface (5:38). The shot firer places explosive charges into these holes (6:04), using a non-sparking tamping stick to push them in (6:21). He tamps them closed with a plug of non-combustible materials (6:28). Called stemming, this helps prevent blown out shots and makes the explosives more effective. He calls out, “Fire! Fire! Fire!” (6:59). An explosion (7:05).
The smoke clears; the loading machine operator loads the coal (7:15) into electrically powered shuttle cars (7:24). He transfers coal to the main transportation system (7:39). This system may consist of rail haulage such as a train of mine cars (7:54) or conveyor belt haulage (8:00).
Continuous mining is relatively newer and more efficient (8:12). A continuous mining machine rips coal from the face (8:26), and loads it onto conveyors or into haulage vehicles in one continuous operation (8:38). This eliminates the need for cutting, drilling, and blasting operations. Water sprays help suppress dust (9:14).
The longwall system is another more recent system (9:22). The coal seam is removed in one operation by a type of cutter-loader with blades that are pulled along the length of the working face by a power-driven chain (9:36). The broken coal is carried from the face by an armored flexible conveyor (9:46). Steel hydraulic jacks called chocks support the roof (9:52).
Adequate ventilation is very important. A ventilating fan draws air throughout the mine workings (10:03). A section foreman measures air velocity with an anemometer (10:23). To reduce the explosibility of settled coal dust, entries are rock dusted with powdered limestone (10:44). A machine distributes dust over the interior surfaces of the mine (11:00).
The section foreman leads the men working under him. Three section foremen in helmets nod in agreement (11:17). However, all of the occupations of the coal mining industry are important: the work of timbermen (11:39), electricians (11:43), trackmen (11:45), maintenance men (11:50), repairmen (11:52), and the general laborer, or mine workmen (11:56). From 12:19, a montage of the many faces of miners at work. They crawl back onto the mantrip (12:25).
Mining involves hazards, but they can be identified and eliminated when safety is made the prime concern of the mine operator, federal and state governments, and the miners themselves.

Normal Schley, a particularly skilled amateur film maker from Wisconsin, takes viewers to the West Indies. This is the final segment of the four-piece film. Norman Schley founded the vacation film industry known as Picturelogue. This particular segment guides us mostly through the French Quarter of New Orleans; however, it opens with images of Fort Montague (:08) in the Bahamas. Still in the Bahamas, tourists sit around a garden area as a herd of flamingo’s run circles in front of them (1:18). The film then turns to the French Quarter in New Orleans (3:11) with Andrew Jackson’s statue in the center of a fountain in Jackson’s Square. Along the side streets in New Orleans, artists set up with complete works and continue to work on incompletes as pedestrians pass by (3:29). A sign for “Starving Artists Gallery” follows (3:48). Lafayette cemetery (4:41) boasts a few famed tombs including Lafayette and the Mayfair Witches (fictional characters from novel by Anne Rice). The tomb of the Broil family is zoomed in on (5:41). One of the grounds keeper’s conducts a ritual against the stone facing of a tomb (5:55). Nighttime festivities erupt highlighted by neon lights (6:29). Bars and shops along the route include the Famous Door Bar (6:34), Rizzo’s Restaurant (6:43), the 500 Club (6:47), Hotsy Totsy (6:51) and other adult entertainment venues. Mardi Gras is visited (8:31) as participants wave red flags and elaborate floats ride down the street (9:04). The third oldest Parade Krewe; Proteus, follows (9:39). Gallier Hall in New Orleans stands with painted columns for the event (10:13). Signs are posted to mark the parade route (10:18). Channel 4 news trucks are on scene to capture the events (10:29). A police bus moves through to ensure safe passage of the floats (10:42). Parade folk wearing black outfits with bright colored flower blossoms (10:52). A couple wearing outfits covered in colorful lollipops are show cased (10:57). Another pair of participants wear alcohol bottle costumes; one as the whiskey called ‘Early Times’ and the other as ‘Usher’s’ Scotch (11:10). Army men conduct drills (11:46). The Mayfair is depicted on a float (12:19) as Steins Clothing Store is seen in the background. The elaborate faces of the large masks on the floats are highlighted (15:15). A few pedestrians play with small trinkets collected during the festivities (15:26). As night time settles in, police on motorcycles navigate through the street (15:40). Parade goers in red cloaks and carrying torches dance a two step for the crowds (16:18). A pair dressed as King and Queen (16:40) are zoomed in on and these two are again seen within a large ballroom as party goers dressed in formal attire dance on the dance floor before them (17:07). The film begins to wrap up as Cinderella’s castle is viewed again in Jackson’s Square (18:19). A sunset is viewed (20:29) and this film has been a presentation of Picturelogue (20:34).

This color film from the early 1980’s addresses the need for and development of NASA’s Space Shuttle program. We are taken through all the reasons the Shuttle’s satellite-placing capabilities will help our relationship with the planet earth (from resource detection to hurricane tracking), and then presented with a showcase of Rockwell International’s contributions to rocketry and space travel, including building and testing the Shuttle’s three main engines. Written and directed by Robert Durham, cinematography and editing by Brainard Miller, narrated by Mario Machado. Produced by Rockwell International’s Rocketdyne Division.
The Space Shuttle was a partially reusable low Earth orbital spacecraft system operated from 1981 to 2011 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as part of the Space Shuttle program. Five complete Space Shuttle orbiter vehicles were built and flown on a total of 135 missions from 1981 to 2011, launched from the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida. Operational missions launched numerous satellites, interplanetary probes, the Hubble Space Telescope, conducted science experiments in orbit, and participated in construction and servicing of the International Space Station (ISS). Four fully operational orbiters were initially built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, and Atlantis. Of these, two were lost in mission accidents: Challenger in 1986 and Columbia in 2003. A fifth operational orbiter, Endeavour, was built in 1991 to replace Challenger. The Space Shuttle was retired from service upon the conclusion of Atlantis's final flight on July 21, 2011.
Rockwell International was a major American manufacturing conglomerate involved in aircraft, the space industry, defense and commercial electronics, components in the automotive industry, printing presses, avionics and industrial products. At its peak Rockwell International was No. 27 on the Fortune 500 list, with assets of over $8 billion, sales of $27 billion and 115,000 employees. The conglomerate ceased to exist by 2001.

Shot by an unknown American, this silent home movie footage was shot in and around Shanghai, China in 1946-1948 time period. It is part of a group of 16mm movies shot by an unknown American who was working for the OMEA, or Officer's Moral Endeavor Association, a sort of non-governmental, YMCA type group operating in post-WWII China.
This film captures the storm flooding in Shanghai, which was a frequent occurrence before the installation of the storm drains and rain sewers in mid-1980s. The Waibaidu Bridge, Suzhou River and the Shanghai Post Office, seen in related films, are seen again here, along with a part of the 1945-1948 U.S. Navy "Yellow River Flotilla" out of which you can distinguish the outlines of 2 heavy cruisers (including USS Los Angeles) and a group of destroyers, anchored in the Huang Pu (Yellow River) in the midst of Shanghai.
0:07 Mass gathering of people, a kind of a procession with flags, probably filmed from the Broadway Mansions building, by the Waibaidu bridge and the Suzhou river
0:45-3:38 Scenes of the Chinese riverboat men life by the Waibaidu Bridge
1:41 Pan up to the Wusong (Suzhou river) the tributary of the Huangpu (Yellow rRiver) in Shanghai. Building in the middle with a tower is the Shanghai Post Office, Zhapu Road Bridge closest and North Sichuan Road bridge in the distance.

“Microworld with William Shatner” (1976) is a color, educational and promotional film made by AT&T about the future of microprocessors. Canadian actor William Shatner, best known for his role in Star Trek, walks the viewer through solid state technology and the art of the integrated microcircuit. Additionally, he underscores the importance of silicon in this technology and how the invention of the transistor paved the way for modern technology.
The history of AT&T dates back to the invention of the telephone. The Bell Telephone Company was established in 1877 by Alexander Graham Bell, who obtained the first US patent for the telephone, and his father-in-law, Gardiner Greene Hubbard. Bell and Hubbard also established American Telephone and Telegraph Company in 1885, which acquired the Bell Telephone Company and became the primary telephone company in the United States. This company maintained an effective monopoly on local telephone service in the United States until anti-trust regulators agreed to allow AT&T to retain Western Electric and enter general trades computer manufacture and sales in return for its offer to split the Bell System by divesting itself of ownership of the Bell Operating Companies in 1982.

This notable film "Baptism of Fire" was produced by the US Army Pictorial Services in WWII. It was created as part of the "Fighting Man" series of films, to prepare U.S. Army recruits for the grim business of combat against Axis troops. The film has impressive production values and a highly realistic (for the time) battle sequence. After it was released in 1943, the film was nominated for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards (it was also nominated for an Oscar in 1944). The film's plot surrounds the narrative of a G.I. named Bill; who is played by Elisha Cook Jr. Bill is a green recruit who is new to the front and preparing for his first taste of battle. The film was intended to teach fighting men that by acquiring knowledge, such as how to identify the enemy and learning the basics of how to fight hand to hand, they might reduce their anxiety, and achieve more personal security leading to a higher chance that they will be effective and both survive combat and succeed in the mission.
The film opens as the Radio Telephone Operator or RTO spots enemy planes flying in formation (:23). He calls the sighting in and the men are called to action (:43). Whistles blow, soldiers dive into dug outs and ready their weapons for firing (:55). The sergeant receives a call the planes have moved to a different direction (1:12). The young soldier Bill appears (2:02) as he is called for detail. An Army ambulance sits spinning stuck in the mud (2:29). As the men work to free the entrenched vehicle, Jim is recognized by a wounded soldier within the ambulance (3:33). Some of the soldiers drift to sleep against their machine guns en route (5:07) to relieve a squadron. Soldiers discuss the moment with which the battle becomes real and is no longer practice maneuvers (5:42). The group jumps from their transport vehicle to rest (6:48). Jim is instructed not to allow worry of the worst to consume him but to learn as much about the enemy and the situation as he can (7:19). Jim reminisces about home (8:24). He says goodbye to his girl Jane (9:17) at the gate. Men are called back to the vehicle (10:58). Foot soldiers move alongside tanks (12:55) cutting tracks into the dirt. The squadron leader reminds men of the mission noting the enemy position (14:24). Soldiers express anxiety over the quiet; the waiting period prior to the start of a mission (14:50). A whirring sings through the air and a bomb hits the ground throwing dirt as Bill and a comrade duck for cover (15:22). The sound of explosions increase and draw nearer (15:59). The signal is called and the men spring from dug out positions (16:27) into action. Long range guns rip holes in the earth (17:02). A sentry gun blows back (17:12). Fighter planes zoom in (17:30). One after another, German Stuka planes break from formation to dive bomb and strafe, (18:03) as Jim watches from below. Soldiers drop to the ground (18:24). Jim begins to feel more confident in his movements (19:30). A burning man escapes from his tank (20:10). Bill finds Pete as he begins to freeze in his position (20:35). The character Pete; played by Peter Whitney, (20:51) drops his rifle in a panic and runs into Jim and Bill. Jim readies his rifle (22:09) noticing the Nazi soldiers making an error and ‘bunching up’. A fellow combat soldier is hit in the throat (22:48). Jim hesitates to fire at an enemy soldier as a friendly soldier swoops in with a bayonet (23:38) saving the green soldier. Jim recognizes his rifle is smashed (24:20) lying next to a dead man. He snags the dead soldiers rifle and canteen (25:07). He recalls being warned of momentary paralysis during training (25:33). Bill is found wounded (26:12), hit by a sniper. Pete and Jim set the wound (26:57). Jim shoots his first Nazi soldier (27:31) and discovers more confidence. As the fighting lines mingle, men begin to fight hand to hand (29:06). Jim successfully bayonets an attacking Nazi soldier (30:02). Pete and Jim fight side by side (30:32). Combat subsides as the wounded are lifted on litters from the battle field (31:21). An RTO calls in the information that the objective had been reached (31:34) as his own wounds are dressed. The wounded and more seasoned soldiers return to the convoy (32:37). The trio mull over the recent battle and what went wrong and right as others celebrate their win in a tavern (33:12).

This 1964 promotional film looks at the development and features of the “Jet Commander”, a twin engine private jet built by Aero Commander, produced by the Rockwell Standard Corporation. (The aircraft is better known today as the IAI Westwind, a name it was given after Rockwell sold the rights to Israel Aircraft Industries in 1958.) The Jet Commander was presented in the film as the "standard business machine of the air", allowing CEOs to save time by avoiding commercial flights and being able to land at small airports much closer to their destination. The film features extensive footage from the development, construction, testing, and certification of the aircraft. It also shows some of the modern interior design features that were available to customers.
The Jet Commander was originally designed in the USA by Aero Commander as a development of its twin-propeller namesake aircraft, first flying on January 27, 1963, as the Aero Commander 1121 Jet Commander. After successful testing, the aircraft was put into series production with deliveries to customers beginning in early 1965. Shortly thereafter, Aero Commander was acquired by North American Rockwell. Since Rockwell already had an executive jet of its own design, the Sabreliner, the company decided to sell off the rights to the Jet Commander, which were purchased by IAI in 1968. IAI modified the design and produced planes for almost two decades before manufacture ceased in 1987.

This film, "Why Asbestos?" was presented by the Asbestos Information Committee, displays the benefits and uses of asbestos in everyday products, and argues that the product is needed to prevent fires. The film was part of a propaganda campaign created by the asbestos industry in the USA and UK to push back against growing public and regulatory sentiment against the use of the product. The AIC and several other organizations were created in early 1970, just as the USA's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) began looking into regulating the industry. The goal of the AIC and similar groups was to counteract the growing public attention to and government regulation of asbestos as a serious threat to workers and consumers, to shape public opinion and regulatory policy. Eventually the campaign produced results, with OSHA stipulating that asbestos could continue to be used in a wide variety of consumer products without any warnings about the danger of cancer. This was despite a rich historical literature on asbestosis, lung cancer, and mesothelioma dating to early in the 20th century. This is a Unit 7 Film and it was made in association with The Film Producers Guild Ltd.

"The Nautilus Story" is one of the many episodes of the classic TV show "The Silent Service," produced by California National Productions in Hollywood. This fascinating program was executive produced by Rear Admiral Thomas Dykers, who also hosted the show. Each episode was based on actual wartime patrols conducted by U.S. Navy submarines during WWII. In this episode from season 1, the Nautilus is assigned to observation duty at Tarawa and caught between U.S. and Japanese gunfire. The inspiration for this episode was a war patrol In November of 1943, when USS Nautilus attempted an intelligence gathering mission to gather weather and surf conditions for a landing by the Marines. On 19 November, mistaking her for a Japanese submarine, the destroyer USS Ringgold (DD-500) fired at Nautilus while she was off Maiana in the Gilbert Islands. Although the boat was hit, the shell did not explode and the submarine did not suffer any casualties. Within two hours of the incident, repairs were sufficient to allow Nautilus to continue with her primary mission: landing a 78-man scouting party, composed of 5th Amphibious Reconnaissance Company Marines and an Australian scout, on Abemama.
This episode was directed by Jean Yarbrough, written by Tony Barrett, cinematography Howard Schwartz, and starring Thomas M. Dykers as Host / Narrator, Ross Elliot as Irvin, Simon Scott as Lynch, Ray Stricklyn as Johnny, Tom Laughlin as Lou, Barry McGuire as Lenny, Val Benedict as Tully, Roy Lennert as Connors, Jack Lomas as Anderson, Dick Foote as Marine Sgt., Jimmy Hayes as Chuck, Michael Hadge as Soundman, Don Eitner as Helmsman.

,1,This incomplete 1950s color film documents an round-the-world trip on the refurbished ocean liner M.S. Willem Ruys (later known as the Achille Lauro). The film dates to sometime after 1958, when the Royal Rotterdamsche Lloyd and the Netherland Line signed a co-operative agreement to create a round-the-world passenger service. Their joint fleet would sail under the banner of "The Royal Dutch Mail Ships". It's possible this film dates to March 1959, when Willem Ruys went off on her new world service to Australia and New Zealand. She departed from Rotterdam, sailing via Southampton, the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, Fremantle, Melbourne, Sydney, New Zealand, returning via the Panama Canal. The Royal Dutch Mail Ships (Willem Ruys, Johan van Oldenbarnevelt and Oranje) became a popular alternative to the British liners.
The film opens with the Captain looking through binoculars (:08). Passengers disembark from the Dutch passenger liner M.S. Willem Ruys of the Royal Rotterdam Lloyd docked at Rotterdam (:28-:48). Shown are a colorful “Voir La France” vintage postcard, “Motoring in Germany” booklet, and “Sightseeing Tours in Belgium” booklets (:51-:57). A grandmother dresses a doll and a grandfather constructs a wooden dollhouse. Both are packed into a crate and loaded on the ship (1:00-1:42). A crowd waits for some passengers to disembark and then waves goodbye to others as the ship is pulled out to sea by tugboats (2:00-2:50). A large net of cargo is lifted in the air (3:14). A white tour bus rounds a corner. It stops at an Abbey and restaurant (3:15-3:42). The cargo crane operator is seen through the crane’s window panes as cargo swings in the air amid ticker tape from those on deck and on the dock. Tugboats pull the ship away (3:43-4:12). A man enters the “Knatoor Adminstrateur Pursers Office” where crew officers are doing paperwork (4:14-4:32). Passengers view Portugal from the deck (4:42). Passengers relax on deck, some reading (5:03). A pianist and drummer play while passengers dance (5:36). A sign advertises “Port Said” on the round-the-world trip (6:12). A crew member uses a pirate handheld telescope to view an approaching small boat (6:16). The ship passes through the Suez Canal (6:48-6:54). In Cairo, a man rides a bicycle with a large plate of stacked bread balanced on his head (6:58). People cross a street wearing long robes and others wear suits and dresses (7:07). The pyramids rise in the distance (7:17). A tourist wearing a French beret and suit rides a camel (7:25). The wall of a pyramid is scanned (7:37). Locals wearing traditional desert long robes guide camels with tourists riding them past pyramids and ruins to the Sphinx of Gaza (7:44-8:20). Camels with colorful blankets kush. A closeup of a camel head shows the decorated reins. A local climbs on board the camel and it rises up with the Sphynx as the backdrop (8:23-8:54). The ship port sign says “Colombo”, which is in Sri Lanka (9:09). Men, women, and children sunbathers lounge on deck and play in the pool. Two women in bathing suits smoke cigarettes. Two men in speedos play volleyball. A game of shuffleboard and rope ring toss are shown (9:12-10:03).
MS Willem Ruys was a cruise ship based in Naples, Italy. She was built between 1939 and 1947 as a passenger liner for the Rotterdamsche Lloyd. In 1985, while serving under the name Achille Lauro, she was hijacked by members of the Palestine Liberation Front.
In other incidents, she also suffered two serious collisions (in 1953 with the MS Oranje and in 1975 with the cargo ship Youseff) and four onboard fires or explosions (in 1965, 1972, 1981, and 1994). In the last of these, in 1994, the ship caught fire and sank in the Indian Ocean off Somalia.

This 1960’s era film was made as a part of the study of advanced locomotion, being carried on by the Aeronutronic Division of Philco Corporation, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company. Philco-Aeronutronic became NASA’s primary communications equipment vendor during the mid-1960’s. The film was shown to various audiences including to engineers working in the space program, in hopes that they might be inspired by "alternative" forms of locomotion. Walt Disney Productions and Moody Enterprises are also acknowledged as sources of footage.
This silent film shows moving images of mostly insects and some microscopic life.
The text cards listed below are followed by what they describe.
The film begins with “The Amoeba, moves by extending an arm, and then flowing into it” (0:11). “Most microscopic marine animals propel themselves through water by undulating hairs or streams” (0:46). “In larger animals, surface hairs are no longer adequate and the entire body is used for propulsion” (1:13). “The snake uses swimming motions both on land and in water” (1:52). “It is surprising to see the ease with which a snake can climb” (2:25). “Close-ups of a boa show the waves of expansion and traction of its lower skin” (5:00). “The millipede’s legs move symmetrically, with waves of motion from rear to front” (5:41). “The centipede’s legs move unsymmetrically, with eaves from the front to rear” (6:10). “The centipede illustrates the method of bridging over obstructions, used by a number of animals” (7:18). “The mysterious serpent, like other animals, can still teach us many things (7:56). A snake head with its forked tongue is shown (8:06). End

Dating to 1925, this silent film "Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life" is one of the earliest ethnographic documentary films ever made. This version runs 57 minutes. The film was also released in a slightly longer version of over 70 minutes by Paramount, and in digest form from Kodak as part of its Kodascope Library. The film follows members of the Bakhtiari, a sub-tribe of the Lurs, in Persia -- modern-day Iran -- as they and their herds make their seasonal journey to better pastures. The film was directed and filmed by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest Schoedsack, with financing provided by Marguerite Elton Harrison and Cooper's family. The journey was the first ever undertaken by Westerners with the Bakhtiari. The first part of "Grass" documents the ancient caravan route from Angora (modern Ankara, Turkey) to the Bakhtiari lands in Persia (western Iran in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province and the eastern part of Khuzestan). It then shows leader Haidar Khan as he leads 50,000 of his people and countless animals on a harrowing trek across the Karun River and over Zard Kuh, the highest peak in the Zagros Mountains. The film was made at a critical juncture, as just 20 years later, this type of migration was being made with trucks and by train, instead of on foot. Also, the position of the tribe changed greatly in the years after the film was made. Reza Shah Pahlavi (r. 1925–1941) made the destruction of the Bakhtiari influence in Persia part of his mission, in part due to the existence of oil on Bakhtiari territory A few tribal leaders were executed by Pahlavi in order to crush Bakhtiari autonomy.
The documentary preceded and influenced another, more famous film made by Cooper and Schoedsack, namely King Kong (1933). Grass was distributed by Paramount Pictures and shown publicly in New York on March 30, 1925.
Marguerite Elton Harrison (1879–1967) was an American reporter, spy, film maker, and translator who was one of the four founding members of the Society of Woman Geographers. Merian Caldwell Cooper (1893 – 1973) was an American aviator, United States Air Force and Polish Air Force officer, adventurer, screenwriter, film director, and producer. He was member of the Explorers Club, and is credited as co-inventor of the Cinerama film projection process. Cooper's most famous film was the 1933 movie King Kong.

This untitled instructional film presented by the US Army from the 1950s shows an American soldier setting up various models of American-made military-grade landmines used throughout the Cold War. A land mine is an explosive device concealed under or on the ground and designed to destroy or disable enemy targets. The use of land mines is controversial because of their potential and indiscriminate weapons. They can remain dangerous many years after a conflict has ended and pose a threat to civilian safety. During the Cold War the United States used the M6 anti tank mine and trip-wire operated bounding antipersonnel mines such as the M2 and M16 which are some of the explosives featured in this instructional film.
Close-up of landmine being buried in soil (0:09). Hand turns dial on top of the landmine (0:40). A US Army soldier sets up and charges a 1950s M6 Landmine (0:51). Soldier sets up M14 Blast Mine (1:20). Soldier buries and disguises the M14 (3:45). Soldier places a safety pin around the indicator arrow to prevent premature explosion (4:16). Illustration of how buried M14 Landmine functions (5:18). Soldier sets up M16 Landmine (5:49). Illustration of explosion radius of the M16 (7:55).

This film was created by Norman Schenker. "Alcoholism: Causes and Dynamics" puts studies the issue of alcoholism and works to show the psychiatric factors contributing to it, using an animal study using live domestic cats and alcohol. It was filmed at the University Clinic of Psychiatry and Neurology in Vienna (:16). Alcoholism is presented as a universal and social issue (1:07). Animal experiments shown supervised by Hans Rotter, M.D. (2:22). A healthy domestic cat slinks around the table prior to experiment (2:42). The experiment includes a served fish food cake (2:46) and a bowl of milk (3:04). The cat toys with a mouse in a cage showing it's natural instinct to hunt (3:28). The hierarchical role between cats is discussed (3:54). The cat learns to anticipate a reward at the close of a study (4:47) as viewers witness the cat becoming more accustomed to training and additional complex steps (6:49). Scientists learn the feline responds best to sound (6:58). The cat performs the entire experiment (8:00). Conditioned reflex is understood at this point of the experiment (8:59). Another cat is introduced (9:41). The less dominant cat awaits its turn (9:55). Alcohol is poured into a small pan next to the milk pan (10:13). Viewers are reminded the cat naturally does not prefer alcohol to its natural diet (10:22). Several dishes containing a milk and a milk alcohol mixture are set out (10:48). The cat can still tell which dish is just milk (11:00). A tube is now inserted into the box containing the fish food cake (11:57). Rather than the treat at the end of the activity, the cat receives a sharp spit of cool air which frightens and confuses the animal (12:41). The experiment continues as the treat and unpleasant reward are rotated (13:21) until the cat's psyche and natural instincts are completely confused. It withdraws into an escape corner; similarly to how one suffering with mental illness or trauma might (15:01). The psychoactive effects have caused the cat to lose interest in food (16:19). When faced with a live mouse; its natural instincts to hunt for survival have been depressed (16:34). The cat begins to look apathetic; eyes glaze over (16:51). When paired with a formerly submissive peer, the formerly dominant cat has now also lost this sense of dominance (17:19). When provided with a mixture of milk and alcohol the cat hesitates; briefly, though now begins to drink (17:45). With relaxed inhibitions and fear; he reaches for the food (18:15). His dominant ego swells from booze and he pushes the other cat away (18:52). Now given the option between pure milk and a milk alcohol mixture; the cat always chooses booze (20:06). At this point the cat exhibits full blown alcoholism. He no longer behaves in a cat-like way; he exhibits apathy and lies on his side as he drinks (21:11). He exhibits signs of a complete mental and physical breakdown; thus showing a state of adaptational conflict can result in experimental neurosis leading to a high risk of substance abuse. A caretaker must offer patience and compassion in order to help the cat recuperate (22:04). Close contact must first be established with the subject (22:14); the fur ball is cuddled and coed. This contact was reduced to minimal during the experiment. The caretaker strokes the cat as he balks at eating food (22:29); his former source of trauma. He begins to take little bits (22:41). Psychic conflict is reduced by consistent care (22:57). The caretaker works to quell fears of the box (23:19). He is able to perform the tasks of the experiment (24:08). When offered a glass of alcohol, the cat now refuses (24:43). How a human might behave in a similar test (25:34). The effects of alcohol on man’s mind (25:56) including the chance for relapse. Alcohol tolerance discussed (27:48). Methods for therapy and recuperation (29:48).

At 7:14 the Combat Battalions are shown at work, the CBs. At 7:50 training of the CBs is shown and there is a montage of indoctrination in various skill areas. At 8:10 men are shown how to survive the sinking of a ship at sea by jumping through fire. At 8:21, heavy equipment for the CBs is shown as well as building pontoon barges at 8:43. At 8:50 is a live fire exercise likely conducted near San DIego. At 9:30 the island hopping strategy of MacArthur is shown. At 9:53 the assault on Guam is shown. At 10:30 machinery moves into action to clear wrecked Japanese tanks and guns. At 10:50, civilians are shown returning from hiding and new homes built for them (11:17). At 11:58, a Japanese compactor is used to help build an airfield. Quonset huts are constructed (12:21) as well as fuel tanks. At 12:51, the harbor is improved by blasting with dynamite.

Guam, at 212 square miles, is the largest island of the Marianas. It had been a United States possession since its capture from Spain in 1898 until it was captured by the Japanese on 10 December 1941, following the attack on Pearl Harbor. During the Japanese occupation of Guam, it was not as heavily fortified as the other Mariana Islands such as Saipan that had been Japanese possessions since the end of World War I. But by 1944, Guam had a large Japanese garrison.
The Allied plan for the invasion of the Marianas, Operation Forager, called for heavy preliminary bombardment, first by carrier aircraft and USAAF bombers based in the Marshall Islands to the east, then once air superiority was gained, close bombardment by battleships, cruisers, and destroyers. Saipan, Tinian, and Guam were chosen as the targets due to their size, their suitability as a base for supporting the next stage of operations toward the Philippines, Taiwan, and the Ryukyu Islands. The seaport at Apra Harbor was suitable for the largest ships; and air bases for Boeing B-29 Superfortresses could be built from which to bomb Japan. B-24 Liberators from the Marianas could also bomb Iwo Jima and the Bonin Islands, such as Chichi Jima.

Filmed and produced by Dick Huppertz, “Sky Sailing” is a color promotional film presented by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York that likely dates to the 1950s or 60s. The film walks the viewer through the various steps in the manufacture of sailplanes, as well as the training that goes into learning how to pilot one. Invented by Sir George Cayley in 1849 and developed upon by the Wright Brothers in the early 1900s, the glider or sailplane is an unpowered aircraft that uses naturally occurring currents of rising air in the atmosphere to gain altitude. In the late 1920s, the sporting use of sailplanes rapidly developed.
The Schweizer Aircraft Corporation was an American manufacturer of sailplanes, agricultural aircraft and helicopters located in Horseheads, New York. It was incorporated in 1939 by three Schweizer brothers (Paul, William, and Ernest), who built their first glider, the SGP 1-1, in 1930.
