The misimpression was created by reference to Technicolor Corp. as the "sole" supplier of optical sound film cartridses for the NAC. The issue was further confused by reference to 5,000 titles in the NAC catalog when there is actually less than that number. Insofar as we have been able to determine. Technicolor is the only major cartridge film supplier to package optical sound film, thus Technicolor and their lab licensees are likely the only optical sound film suppliers, though they have no official contract with the N.AC. Our disservice in coverage was a failure to comment on the many suppliers of magnetic sound film cartridges for the NAC. To set and keep the record straight, we checked with Jim Gibson, director of the National Audiovisual Center, who told us: "Our new film sales catalog contains approximately 3,500 ti tles of U.S. Government films and filmstrips. Price tags carry only 16mni prices. However, all motion pictures listed, are also available in standard Smm and Super 8. "NAC will provide purchasers of standard Smm prints with magnetic sound or silent track as ordered. It will also supply purchasers of Super S prints with mai>netic sound, optical sound, or silent track as ordered. Both standard Smm and Super 8 prints can be ordered delivered on reel or loaded in any make cartridge desired, as appropriate." Gibson added that a free copy of the catalog is available by writing National Audiovisual Center, General Services Administration, Washington, D.C. 20408.
