The joy of watching movies in class!
Mid-century illustration from an a-v utilization guide showing 3 students at desks looking at a screen as a teacher stands behind a projector illuminating the screen with a film (though the film hasn't started playing yet as the screen is merely lit with the projector bulb and no image is present). It is a sound film as there is a speaker on the floor near the screen.

Today's #Friday "The End" comes from the film A MESSAGE FROM DOROTHY MAYNOR, famous soprano, on the importance of x-ray screenings for TB. Note the Cross of Lorraine symbol used for years on Christmas seals. The logos read "Christmas Seals Fight Tuberculosis" & "Tuberculosis is Preventable."

Old 16mm circulating prints are not always in great condition, but this one, "Little World," about a day care center in NYC in 1958, is in stunning condition for its age. The Eastman Rev film stock looks fabulous.

Nice Kin-O-Lux box and reel. The July 5 1946 date is a "process by" date and, judging by the wartime mostly-cardboard reel, the film was likely shot around 1944.
Blue, black, and white box with art deco style lettering, and cardboard and metal reel commonly used during WWII when metal went to the war effort.

Another of the dreaded group of film treatments of the past.
A label on a film can stating that Vacuumate Corporation has treated the film in the can with its coating to help the film survive repeated projections with less damage. It likely contributes more to the deterioration of the film, but that is unproven.
