WFIL-TV films "hot" news with Du Pont 931 -and it's on the air in minutes
An explosion shook Philadelphia's Market Street at 8:03 P.M., March 28, 1956, and WFIL-TV cameramen were on the scene moments later— their cameras loaded with Type 931 Motion Picture Film.
Well-known WFIL-TV News Director Gunner Back says: "Our photographers fed film back to the station for our 11 P. M. 'RCAVictor News Reel' just as fast as it was shot. Although it was still coming out of the processing machine 10 minutes before air time, we were sure of the good

pictures we would get."
Du Pont High Speed Rapid Reversal Film, Type 931, is a favorite of WFIL Photographer Harry W. Krause, who reports: "Du Pont 931 has what it takes for TV work— it's a rugged film with high speed, wide latitude, good contrast and never blocks up an optical sound track."
