January, 1943 Page 21 • A Vital New Use for RCA Audio-Visual Aids! • Johnny Doughboy mastered his machine gun • • • at the movies! In the training camp where Johnny was stationed, he had to go to the movies. It was part of his training. For the movies Johnny saw were of a very special kind- produced by Uncle Sam and shown only to Uncle Sam's soldiers. These films taught Johnny how to man his machine gun. Of course they didn't replace actual handling and practice with the gun — but they gave Johnny Dough- boy a pretty good idea of what to do the first time he squatted on the firing range and crooked his finger around the trigger. They gave him the background and theory of the gun, explained its intricate mechanism, showed its correct use, taught him how to protect him- self against injury. Time is short in this war, and this new visual method has helped our Army and Navy train thousands of men in each camp simultaneously, quickly and accu- rately, in the handling of weapons, in the practice of military maneuvers and operations, in conduct under combat conditions. RCA is proud of the part its projectors and its film record- ing and reproducing facilities are playing in the use of these strategic films. They help make Johnny Doughboy the best trained soldier in the world today. Today, RCA 16mm. sound projectors are available only for war training purposes. That's why the RCA equipment you now have should be kept in perfect running order. It must be kept working until you can again buy these superior projectors for your educational work.
