"Temporary" A-V Training Facility Designed for Future Permanence When the First National Bank of Denver acquired several thousand square feet of temporary space for its training division, the problem of equipping the facility for fullscale audiovisual presentations seemed insurmountable. The bank's training division serves as the source of programs for employee orientation, on-the-job training, industrial relations, introduction of new bank programs and any re-training required for the company's 1300 employees and 200 officers. And, accustomed to the effectiveness of A-V presentations, the division wanted a flexible, fullscale multi-media presentation system. The basic requirements for the system called for presentations that would be fully automated and programmed with the capability of manual override and fingertip remote control over all of the equipment from a simple panel at the instructor's desk. An additional requirement was that the entire system be usable in either of two classrooms . . . and subject to removal for a more permanent installation at a different location at a later date. Hal Guzofsky and his specialist teams at Audiovisual Consultants and Colorado Visual Aids in Denver formulated the solution on a mobile projection counter 7 feet long, on which all of the projection. Not wanting to invest a large amount of money in an A-V facility for a temporary training location, the First National Bank of Denver solved the problem by using a movable projection counter to serve two classrooms. Scene of one of the classrooms in use shows "floating screen" effect achieved in custom installation.
