We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

February, 1943 Page 67 * A Vital New Use for RCA Audio-Visual Aids! * THE BATTLE THAT WAS FOUGHT 500 TIMES! It was a brilliant action. Our forces maneuvered with perfect skill and coordination. The plan of attack was carried out to the last man and the last gun. The enemy didn't have a chance. Back home, thousands of officers-in-training, who would soon have to execute just such maneuvers, could have learned an invaluable lesson—if only they had been on the spot to see the battle. The army did take these officers to the scene of battle—through films. Photographic records of the actual operation were shown to audiences of officers—not once, but dozens of times. These films were run and re-run, discussed thoroughly and shown again—till every important detail, every lesson that could be learned was clear and fixed forever in their minds. In this way, films help strengthen the strategic striking power of our armed forces. Every training station is supplied with vital films of this type — films that help instruct and explain, films that prepare men and officers for handling weapons, for maneuvering, for operations and combat conditions. Wherever these films are used, RCA projectors, film recording and reproducing facilities, play an important part. In the greatest military training program ever undertaken in history—RCA projec- tion equipment serves dependably and effectively. Because RCA 16mm. sound projectors are today available only for war training purposes, the RCA equipment you now have should be kept in perfect running order. Keep it working until you can again buy these superior projectors for your educa- tional work. RCA Victor Division • Educational Dept. RADIO CORPORATION OF AMERICA, Camden, N. J.
