Bridging the Gap with "Know-How"
Bridging the gap of "know-how"' between the aiuifacturer who turns out these mechanized capons and the men who keep them in fighting im is one of the most significant contributions
the motion picture, filnistrip and other projectI training aids.
These modern instructional tools, successfully )plied in maintenance training programs for irage mechanics and filling station operators
fore the war. have been adapted to the needs
of the armed forces on a tremendous scale. Hundreds of visual subjects supplied to the armed forces by war products makers now provide a considerable portion of the training film libraries in the Army. Navy, Air Corps, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
We Learned the Right Way Early
The need for these advanced educational materials became apparent in the first months of our pre-Pearl Harbor defense preparations. Burned out bearings and broken transmissions soon piled up valuable vehicles after workouts by unskilled selectees. Swift removal of this obstacle to our war effort was the immediate response of those who made the machines. Not only were hard-won peacetime reputations for dependable performance at stake but costly dela\"s and real peril to the nation was indicated.
The earliest instance of this kind was International Harvester's pioneer contribution to the .Army of ten complete reels of instructional mo
tion pictures on the operation of the Trac-Tractor. Since that time, motion pictures, slidefilms and other types of jjrojected aids have been supplied by airplane engine makers, ignition manufacturers, and hundreds of similiar suppliers. Several plane manufacturers have set up special production facilities for this purpose although most of these visual presentations are provided through the facilities of established industrial film companies throughout the nation.
Translated in Many Languages
Like other basic visual training materials produced by the Arm)' and Navy, these mechanical, maintenance and operational aids are being translated in the languages of the L'nited Nations. Russian. Chinese and Spanish are the tongues most generally applied but films have also been translated in Portuguese and .Arabic.
