EPS 1939 9min sd $30. rent $1.50 665.5 Jh-sh Guide "Opening scenes attempt to show how, through the action of geological forces petroleum may have been produced in past geological eras. The function of vegetable matter and diastrophic movements are stressed. "Subsequent scenes show how oil wells are drilled and how, the well once under control, the oil Is pumped to the surface and stored In temporary reservoirs. Before proceeding to the refinery, the oil Is dehydrated. "Final scenes show In animation how the petroleum may be separated into the various fractions by means of a 'batch' still, and suggest the possibility of obtaining additional gasoline through cracking processes. "The film does a rather good job of giving the auditor a feeling for the excitement attendant upon the opening of a new oil field, although a more complete treatment would have helped. However, in certain other respects the film is unsatisfactory. The method by which oil is produced in the earth Is incompletely developed. . . The film is unsatisfactory, also. In Its treatment of the refining process. "The reviewing committee agreed, nevertheless, that the film would probably have a rather high degree of Interest for high school students in connection with courses in chemistry or general science. . . The various scenes were clear, the sound quality was excellent, animated drawings were employed Judiciously, technical terms were either explained or their use avoided."

USBurMines 1948 * 23min sd color loan 665.5 jh-sh-c-tr-ad Produced in cooperation with the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana Traces the story of gasoline from crude oil to finished product and explains in simple terms the complex structural patterns of petroleum molecules making up the fuel that propels millions of automobiles, farm equipment, airplanes and other internal combustion engines Thru animation the various hydrocarbon molecules come to "life" and separately explain their performances in gasoline. By use of distinctive colors in animation, gas, gasoline, kerosene, fuel oil, light lubricating oil, heavy lubricating oil, and, finally, residual materials, are easily traced and identified as they fiow thru detailed refining diagrams STORY OF OIL.

The crude oil Is stored before being pumped to refineries to be separated Into its various products: gas, octane gasoline for aeroplanes, kerosene, wax, tar and many others 10,000 FEET DEEP. Rev. ed.
