Westinghouse Talking Laundromat Unveiled for Dealers' Showrooms
♦ The Westinghouse Electric Corp. is using an ingenious new method to sell its automatic Laundromat washing machine.
Inside a Laundromat, on display in dealers' showrooms, is a special sound slidefilm projector rigged up to project on the window of the machine. Under the sign "To learn more, open the door" prospective purchasers will see a 35-frame color and sound slidefilm, The Laundromat Story, which is started automatically when the door is opened.
Four hundred prints of the new film are in use throughout the country this month. Special production techniques (by Pathescope Productions) were required to make the film suitable for screening on the Laundromat's round window.
Bernard Cousino, Toledo veteran audio-visual specialist, pioneered this audio-visual device which is being manufactured by a leading Midwest a-v firm familiar with the sound slidefilm application.
