Reels 1 and 2 may be used with any one of reels 3, 4, 5, or 6 to give a complete three-reel picture on the manufacture of a particular product. These reels contain animation of various processes and include many phases of the human side of steel- making. The several distributors have varying numeral designations for these reels. It will therefore be necessary to specify names of reels desired." Producer 669.2 Gold and silver Gold.

Indiana el-Jh Guide Silver. ISmin 16-si-$24 1930 Eastman 669.2 "Stresses important uses of the metal which today plays a leading part in many industrial activities. Shows the prepara- tion of sterling silver and, using the manufacture of a sterling silver spoon and a tray as an illustration, shows the processes involved in the production of flat-ware and hollow-ware. The process of using silver plating for mirrors and photographic emulsions are shown. The film has been divided into the following units: sterling silver, silverware and mir- rors, silver in photography." Iowa univ. Jh-sh Guide 669.3 Copper From mine to consumer. 30min 16-si-loan 35-si-nf-loan prior 1927 Am. brass 669.3 Produced by Pathescope company of America Part one shows how the copper-bearing rock is mined, and transported to the smelters. Here the ore is crushed, ajid most of the waste material eliminated. It then passes successively through roasters, reverbatory furnaces and converters, and the resulting "blister copper" is cast into plates, known as anodes, for electrolytic refining. In part two we learn how copper and brass sheets and strips are made. We observe copper cakes being rolled under heavy pressure, and the annealing neces- sary to insure the correct temper in the metal. Lastly the finishing, trimming and inspection of the sheet metal is shown Also available in a 5 reel film (35-sl- nf-loan Am. brass). Reel 1, Copper min- ing and smelting; Reel 2, Electrolytic cop- per refining and brass casting; Reel 3, Manufacturing sheets, rolls and strips; Seamless tubes; Reel 4, How copper rods and wire are made; Reel 5, Possibilities of copper and brass Long drawn out.

The wire of copper eventually becomes a voice highway as you face the interesting process in the wire mills."
