Visit patreon.com/PeriscopeFilmBrowse our products on Amazon: amzn.to/2YILTSDThis 20-minute documentary on the heroin epidemic in the United States was made by Concept Films in 1970 as part of an Encyclopedia Britannica informational film series. It contains footage of heroin users as well as interviews with individuals, often young adults, struggling with heroin addiction. The film appears to have been shot in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania vicinity. Viewers should be advised that the film contains graphic footage.in 1970, when this film was produced, heroin addiction was on the rise in the United States. Among the epidemic's causes that this documentary explores, the increased availability is perhaps the most salient cause of the heroin epidemic affecting Americans.. The international drug market was complex and booming and there was an increase in the amount of heroin available for American consumption. The documentary traces the market from its origins in Turkish poppy farms to Istanbul and then Beirut from where it is smuggled to France and then the United States, at an enormous profit to all those involved. One of the reasons for the immense profits is that the pure heroin could be greatly diluted before its distribution to users. It was often cut with other drugs, potentially leading to overdoses and deaths. At the time, treatment for heroin addiction was hard to come by. The video follows heroin users who try to quit through various means including community organizations, group houses, and methadone clinics.(00:07) Title: Slavery in the 70s(00:53) Images of an urban ghetto or rundown neighborhood(01:40) Addicts heating up a bottle cap with a lighter for using heroin(02:03) Young men use heroin in a house(02:39) A map of the USA with the animated word "Scag" appearing -- scag is slang for Heroin(02:57) Newspaper clippings about the heroin epidemic(04:00) A young man describes how he started using heroin and became addicted to it.

1978 CHEVROLET GUIDE FOR SALESMEN SELLING FUEL EFFICIENT TRUCKS CHEVY LUV GAS CRISIS 19954a PeriscopeFilm 2024-06-24 | Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films? Visit patreon.com/PeriscopeFilmBrowse our products on Amazon: amzn.to/2YILTSDThis 1978 film produced by the Chevrolet Motor Division is a guide for car salesmen. It covers how to market Chevrolet's truck lineups, particularly its light pickup trucks like the LUV (Light Utility Vehicle).This film is particularly notable because of its historical context. In the 1970s, the United States was experiencing an acute fuel crisis that directly affected drivers across the United States. The crisis began in 1973 when OPEC member states imposed an oil embargo on countries which had supported Israel in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war. While the embargo was short-lived, it had long-lasting effects on oil prices. This led to an emphasis on fuel efficiency and increased regulation from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which had been established in 1970.This guide is in part a response to the 1975 Energy Policy and Conservation Act which established Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. As part of these standards' phase-in process, automakers developed more fuel-efficient technologies. 1978 was the first year automakers had to achieve a fleet-wide average of 17.9 miles per gallon. This video focuses on what this regulation means for the average car salesman. In particular, there is an emphasis on selling light pickup trucks instead of more fuel-costly vehicles.(00:09) Title: Cashing in on selling fuel efficient trucks(00:11) Copyright 1978 - Chevrolet Motor Division(00:35) An illustration showing how in order to comply with a new government mandate of 17.2 miles per gallon, sales of trucks with large V8 engines must be balanced out by sales of smaller trucks.(01:02) Footage of a re-designed 4.1 liter 250 cubic inch, 6 cylinder inch engine that has more horsepower than the previous iteration.(01:12) A man drives a 4-wheel-drive LUV on the road.(01:37) A Chevrolet car salesman from Nebraska talks about his successful experience selling the LUV.(01:55) He demonstrates how much hay the fully-loaded truck can carry.(02:18) An older couple stores luggage in a LUV.(02:47) A salesman in Vacaville, California explains that one great selling point for the LUV is its great gas mileage. Many people, he says, trade in large domestic cars because they want better mileage while still having a big car.(03:11) The salesman demonstrates the bench seat.(03:21) The LUV is displayed near other Chevrolet trucks.(05:19) An overview of the main selling points including the LUV's "tough truck image," "availability," and its "operating convenience."(06:38) Selling 6-cylinder pickups and vans will help balance out the sales of 8-cylinder trucks and bring the average gas mileage down.(07:23) A Massachusetts car salesman explains how he sells 6-cylinder trucks to customers who don't necessarily need a V8. By selling the car at a similar price, his commission doesn't decrease.(07:57) He takes a customer on a demonstration drive in a Chevrolet C-20(08:34) He holds up an EPA booklet that demonstrates that these vehicles help the customer save money on gas.(10:59) The Big 10, a popular choice for customers looking for trucks.The Chevrolet LUV and the later Chevrolet LUV D-Max were light pickup trucks designed and manufactured by Isuzu and marketed in the Americas since 1972 by Chevrolet over four generations as rebadged variants of the Isuzu Faster and D-Max. LUV is an acronym for "light utility vehicle". Production of the first generation of Chevrolet LUVs, first sold in North America from 1972 as a badge-engineered variant of the Japanese-market Isuzu Faster, ended in 1980.Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

Visit patreon.com/PeriscopeFilmVisit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.comThis silent, tinted 35mm industrial film "Super-Power Service" about the Penn-Ohio System, a power utility that straddled Pennsylvania and Ohio. The film apparently dates to around 1928 and shows some of the utility's plants and distribution infrastructure which "supplies power, heat and light, day and night, to a constantly increasing number of customers in the most rapidly growing industrial area in the United States." At (:43) a map shows the company's service area and Greenville, PA, and notes that "to supply this large territory the Penn-Ohio System operates 5 generating stations and 31 substations." At (1:01) the smokestack of the coal fired P-O Power Plant in Greenville is shown, as well as the plant itself. At (1:24) the Ellwood City, PA hydroelectric power plant on the Ohio River is shown as well as a sub-station (1:52). The dam and power station are apparently visible in the shot at (2:10). At (2:12) the North Avenue Station plant in Youngstown, Ohio, which provided steam heat for the city. (Today it is apparently known as Youngstown Thermal and still produces steam heat and chilling services for buildings and customers downtown.) At (2:38) Lowellville, Ohio coal-steam power plant is shown, one of the company's main generating stations. At (3:00) some of the enormous coal piles needed to keep the plant in operation are shown. At (3:22) the turbo-generators inside the plant are shown in a shot that must have been taken from an electric crane. At (4:12) the master switchboard of the plant is shown, with engineers monitoring the gauges. At (4:33) an outdoor substation for transmission of electricity long distances. At (4:55) Toronto, Ohio is shown with a coal-operated steam plant along the Ohio River. A title card at (5:25) indicates that "Fuel availability being of the utmost importance, this plant is located next to a strip or surface coal mine." At (5:43) the mine is shown in operation with a powerful Bucyrus steam shovel belonging to the Ohio River Edison Coal Company. At (5:58) coal is removed by the shovel and shipped to the plant in bargest. At (6:22) the coal is shown entering the plant via an elevator bucket system.The Penn-Ohio System was a major player in the power industry in the late 1920s, and acquired the Northern Ohio Power Co. in 1928. It was apparently part of the Ohio River Edison Co. and, in addition to supplying power, heat and light, operated trolley, train and transit lines.

YOU THINK ITS LUCK 1952 U.S. NAVY ANTI-GAMBLING FILM w/ MAGICIAN JOHN SCARNE GG44115 PeriscopeFilm 2024-06-23 | Join this channel to get access to perks:youtube.com/channel/UCddem5RlB3bQe99wyY49g0g/joinWant to learn more about Periscope Film and get access to exclusive swag? Join us on Patreon. Visit patreon.com/PeriscopeFilmVisit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.comProduced in 1952 as part of the "For Which We Stand" series of training films, "You Think It's Luck" was produced for the U.S. Navy by Universal. The film is a cautionary lesson, in that it reveals some of the many ways through which crooked gamblers win at games of chance. The film features John Scarne, a magician and author who was particularly adept at playing card manipulation. While he might have worked as a card sharp, instead Scarne refused to gamble and invested time in developing magic tricks and card stunts. Scarne became known as an expert on cards and other games, and advised the U.S. military during WWII, when gambling among troops was a rampant social problem. Scarne was sent to bases around the world in order to educate soldiers about the dangers of card and dice cheats. The film begins with a look at how crooked dice can be used to rig the odds in a game of craps. At (:46) shapes, or shaved or altered dice, are shown with one die larger than the other. Loaded dice are shown at (1:10), which change the odds. At (2:00), a substituted die that has the same numbers on multiple faces is shown. At (2;07) John Scarne is introduced and many of his incredible tricks are shown including simulated shuffling of cards (3:40) and deals from the bottom of the deck. At (4:11) Scarne demonstrates how to cheat a blackjack using the "cheater's grip" to preview the next card in the deck, so as to decide whether to deal it or keep it (4:50). At (5:43), "second dealing" is demonstrated as Scarne steathfully manipulates the deck to stack it at (6:16). At (6:28) a way to defeat stacking is shown. At (6:51) a simulated poker game is shown with Scarne working as a crooked dealer in league with a player (7:06) The crooked player shows the dealer how many Jaks he has by using a pre-arranged signal. At (8:00) the dealer signals that he has a stronger hand than his partner by using a clenched fist on the table. The dealer and his croney proceed to use signals to build up the pot. The victim has no idea that he's been cheated (9:44). The film then shows an example of how a cheater can work a table even when he is not the dealer by palming an ace and placing it in the crease of his knee, completely hiding it from view. At (10:18) when he gets a hand with aces, he retrieves the hidden card. At (11:00) the narrator explains how to spot a player who is palming cards. At (11:10) marked decks of cards are shown. At (11:50) it is shown how a player who is peeking at his hole card may also be peeking at the top card in the deck. At (12:08) a simulated game of Rummy is shown, with a demonstration of how cards are stacked. At (13:08) the film switches gears to show some of the negative effects of gambling that have nothing to do with losing money. First, a sailor is shown trying to study an instructional book but is distracted because he is thinking about gambling. At (13:48) another distracted sailor is shown at work, who is daydreaming about using a slot machine and ends up nearly cutting off his fingers. At (14:50) a depressed sailor is shown who is deeply in debt. He ends up stealing from a fellow sailor, but gets caught. At (16:11), the film condemns "gambling fever" and discusses how the world of gambling is carefully controlled so that the house always wins. At (16:30) the game of roulette is shown, which favors the house and has a 5% take. A guaranteed "win" scenario results in a sailor losing two chips. At (17:45) slot machines and punch boards are shown. At (18:16) football betting pools and sports betting is shown with the narrator mentioning that "the percentage favors the operator". Chuck-a-luck is shown, with the house having an 8% margin. At (18:45) the game of crown and anchor is shown with "three winners, three losers" but again the house wins. At (19:03) a gorgeous woman in a nice dress throws dice in a game where the house wins on ties -- resulting in the house winning over 11% more of the time. The film ends with the hapless gambler trying to study the various games so he can win, but of course he ends up flat broke.

Visit patreon.com/PeriscopeFilmBrowse our products on Amazon: amzn.to/2YILTSDThis film "Routes of American Airlines" is one of a series made by the company in the late 1960s / early 1970s. Despite it serving as promotional material for the airline, the company is only mentioned a few times in the nearly 14-minute film. The film provides an overview of three American cities — Detroit, Boston, and Los Angeles — and the features and attractions in each one. At the conclusion of each city's section, the narrator connects an element of the city to American Airlines' presence at that city's airport. For example, when concluding the section on Detroit, he mentions that while the city revolves around the wheel because of the auto industry, nonetheless "when the wheels fall off," people can take American Airlines flights out of the city's airport. Similarly, while Boston is a historic city, its airport is modern and American Airlines operates flights from Logan International Airport. The Brown Derby is an established Los Angeles institution and similarly, so are American Airlines flights from the city.(00:00:10) Title: Routes of American Airlines(00:00:32) Detroit skyline(00:01:24) Footage of Detroit office building exteriors(00:01:58) People play with model boats(00:02:42) New Plymouth cars are manufactured at the Chrysler plant in Detroit(00:03:16) Cars are washed(00:03:52) Passengers board a large riverboat(00:04:38) The narrator mentions that American Airlines operates out of the Detroit airport(00:05:01) Aerial view of Boston's Back Bay and the Charles River(00:05:19) A cobblestone road in Beacon Hill(00:05:49) The site of the Boston Massacre(00:05:58) A monument of Paul Revere riding his horse, Old North Church can be seen in the background(00:06:26) The new Prudential Tower, built in 1964(00:06:42) People walk around downtown Boston(00:06:46) Merchants sell food(00:07:14) View of Boston Harbor(00:07:24) A train crosses the Charles(00:07:44) People enjoy the Swan Boats in Boston Public Garden(00:08:07) Children feed ducks(00:08:44) The narrator mentions that Boston has one of the most modern airplanes and American Airlines serves the airport (00:09:34) View of Los Angeles on a smoggy day(00:10:46) A congested freeway(00:11:15) New neighborhoods are built on nearby hills(00:12:08) People enjoy a backyard pool(00:12:40) Residents enjoy the beach and Pacific Ocean(00:13:27) The Brown Derby, a Los Angeles landmark(00:13:45) The narrator concludes by mentioning that American Airlines operates out of Los Angeles as wellDuring the 1960s, American Airlines was a major airline and remains so today. Overall, the 1960s were an important decade for the airline industry as several airlines, including American, began flying jet aircraft which helped business grow and make travel more pleasurable for those flying. Jet planes were faster and smoother than propeller-driven planes and could seat more passengers. This technology helped expand American Airlines' route network, meaning that the three cities featured in the video, Boston, Detroit, and Los Angeles, were no longer as distant. It was now increasingly possible for American to consider flying to the cities they learned about in this film.Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

“ OKEFENOKEE INTERLUDE ” 1958 FORD EDSEL CAR ADVERTISEMENT OKEFENOKEE SWAMP TRAVELOGUE 97414 PeriscopeFilm 2024-06-21 | Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films? Visit patreon.com/PeriscopeFilmThis 1958 film "Okefenokee Interlude" is an advertisement for the new Ford Edsel and it takes the form of a travelogue as it follows an Edsel owner on his vacation to the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia. The owner is a physician who is worn out and exhausted from his work and he is in need of a relaxing getaway. He and his wife drive the Edsel to Okefenokee Swamp Park, which feeds the Suwannee River. A local boatman helps the doctor and his wife navigate the swamp. They witness stunning wildlife including an alligator and are treated to an incredible landscape that features unique trees and plants. Then, the pair enjoy dinner with the boatman's family and sing tunes before returning home. The advertisement concludes with the doctor driving away in his Edsel, exclaiming: "Just what the doctor ordered, and I feel great!" The film was produced by the Photographic Department of Ford Motor Company and is narrated by John E. McCarthy.Ford launched the Edsel brand and division, named after the founder's son Edsel, in 1958 and invested heavily in the new product's marketing and advertising. Despite these efforts, the Edsel was not a success and its launch is considered by some to be one of the most famous failures in industry history. Several factors are blamed for this flop, including a controversial style design, manufacturing issues, and its price during an economic downturn. Ford's marketing created high expectations that the product did not live up to.This film showcases some of the tactics used in marketing the Edsel. First off, Ford produced many films that were distributed to audiences including travel documentaries such as this one and another travel advertisement "West to the Tetons" that follows a couple on their honeymoon journey to the mountains in Wyoming. Both market the Edsel as key to freedom and adventure.(00:24) Title: Okefenokee Interlude(01:27) A man drives off in his new Edsel and cruises down a country road with his wife.(02:49) He is an overworked physician in need of a vacation so he takes the Edsel to Miami(06:12) The man then drives to Okefenokee Swamp Park in Georgia(08:22) He rides in a small boat down the swamp and spots wildlife(11:10) An alligator swims in the water, a common animal in the swamp(14:18) The couple and their guide pass by Spanish moss and Cypress trees(18:46) He leaves Okefenokee Swamp and drops the boatman at his house, he eats dinner with the family and others join for a "sing"(20:53) They use shape-note songbooks, meaning the noteheads have shapes used to aid singers in finding pitches.

A woman in an elegant evening gown sways for the photographer (1:18) as he chews on a tobacco cigar (1:21). The dancer works to demonstrate what Steichen wanted from her as a model (1:37). Lights are adjusted (1:46) in a final touch up prior to the shoot. His model lifts her skirt, toeing up the steps onto the stage (2:05). An electric ocelot fan lifts the white gown creating the illusion of motion for the image (2:17). She sways as the group works to captures the images in the photographer’s mind (2:47). Edward takes a look into the ground glass of his lens (2:54) on the large portrait camera. He throws the hood over his head (2:57). He changes the shutter plate (3:26). Film is inserted and removed rapidly (3:33). The trim blonde model takes a smoke break (3:45). Edward takes the butt and throws it to the ground (3:49) as the new set is ready. A white veil blows against her form (4:36). Edward trips over cords at his feet (4:48). He moves back under the hood (5:17). Steichen examines the shots which he will sell for commercial profit (5:41). Lighting is again adjusted (6:00). The model reappears in a dark and heavy dress (6:06). She bends her body to the camera man’s direction (6:23). Negatives pulled are examined (6:44) to capture the perfect image displaying the diligence of the artist. Edward was also a painter and horticulturist (7:10). Prior to 1902 he was already an established painter (7:23). The model bends again within the studio at 291 Fifth Avenue (7:38). This became the headquarters for the photo-secession movement known as 291. Many questioned whether or not photography was art during this time period; though Steichen and his work would prove it to be. He flicks through captured images (8:49). The mounted photographs follow (9:01) as the film concludes. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed.

Testing 1920s experimental BULLETPROOF ARMORED SUIT for U.S. Army ! PeriscopeFilm 2024-06-19 | The Brewster Body Shield or Brewster Body Armor was the first effective body armor developed for the United States Army in World War I, designed by Guy Otis Brewster from Dover, New Jersey. It was made of chrome nickel steel, weighed 40 pounds, and consisted of a breastplate and a headpiece. This armor would withstand Lewis machinegun bullets at 2,700 f.p.s. but was unduly clumsy and heavy.A scaled waistcoat of overlapping steel scales fixed to a leather lining was also designed for the U.S. Army during WWI; this armor weighed 11 lb (5.0 kg), fit close to the body, and was considered more comfortable.Some commentators mention Ned Kelly. In 1879, this Australian bushranger and outlaw devised a plan to create bulletproof armor and wear it during shootouts with the police. He and other members of the Kelly gang—Joe Byrne, Steve Hart, and brother Dan Kelly—had their own armour suits and helmets crafted from plough mouldboards, either donated by sympathisers or stolen from farms. The boards were heated and then beaten into shape over the course of several months, most likely in a crude bush forge and possibly with the assistance of blacksmiths. While the suits successfully repelled bullets, their heavy weight made them cumbersome to wear, and the gang debated their utility.The gang found use for the armour as part of a plan to derail and ambush a police train in June 1880 at Glenrowan. After the plan failed, the gang, having taken hostages in a local hotel, wore the armour during a final shootout with the police. Byrne died from a stray bullet that hit his groin through a small gap in the armour, and in an attempt to rescue Dan and Hart, Ned donned his suit during a fifteen-minute exchange of gunfire with the police. Although the armour protected his head and torso, he received several bullet wounds to the hands and legs, causing significant blood loss and resulting in his capture. Hart and Dan died during the final stages of the siege, possibly in a suicide pact. After making sufficient recovery from his wounds, Ned was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death by hanging.News reports of the armour caused a sensation throughout Australia and much of the world. It has become a widely recognisable image and icon, inspiring many cultural depictions and cementing Ned Kelly as one of Australia's most well-known historical figures. The suits of armour ended up in both private and public hands; Ned Kelly's, for instance, is held by the State Library of Victoria. However, within days of the Kelly gang's demise, the armour started to become mismatched, and there was confusion over which pieces belonged to which suit. It was not until the early 21st century, after extensive research, that owners reached an agreement to swap the necessary pieces to restore the original suits.

NASA APOLLO PROGRAM SPACE SUIT MOBILITY TESTS W/ WEIGHT OFFSETTING GANTRY XD47024 PeriscopeFilm 2024-06-19 | Want to support this channel and help us preserve old films? Visit patreon.com/PeriscopeFilmVisit our website www.PeriscopeFilm.comDating to the early Apollo Program era, this silent film shows mobility tests conducted subjects in pressure suits. Two versions are shown, one with exterior foil covering and one without. It's not clear which space suit design is shown; although it appears similar to those used in Project Mercury, it could also be a similar, modified version of the Goodrich U.S. Navy Mark IV high altitude jet aircraft pressure suit. A plastic adapter surrounds the middle of the suit, allowing the astronaut to be strapped into a weighted support gantry that can help simulate weightlessness. The tests shown, which must have been grueling for the subject due to the inverted body position, included use of tools and a simulated repair or device installation.We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

1973 AIRCRAFT EJECTION SEAT BALLISTIC POWERED RESTRAINT REEL TESTS LABORATORY FOOTAGE 45264 PeriscopeFilm 2024-06-18 | Dating to 1973, this Pacific Scientific Co. test footage shows a human subject as well as a test dummy on an ejection seat mock-up. Seat restraints are clearly shown, so most likely this footage represents a test of that system. (Pacific Scientific was in fact sued by a rival company Aerotech Industries, over patent rights to a "inertia-operated safety apparatus for use with body harnesses which automatically functions to safely retain the pilots in their seats during crashes and the like.")Restraints such as those shown are extremely important in an ejection, as they reposition the pilot's back against the seat to properly position the body during an ejection or crash sequence, reducing the risk of spinal injury. Modern seats such as ACES II and V use a ballistic powered inertia reel (BPIR) for this purpose. At (8:30) and at (9:37), slow-motion footage shows how the restraints operate to pull a slumped pilot backwards to proper position.
