April, 194} Page 143 • A Vital New Use for RCA Audio-Visual Aids! • The Men who marched a Million Miles! They went out on reconnaissance patrol at night. Stealthily they moved forward through the dark and secretive jungle. Whenever danger threatened, they handled it ef- fectively. Wherever the enemy showed his head, they took care of him promptly. They made no mistakes. And they repeated that march — not once — but thousands and thousands of times ... on the screen. For these men were soldiers performing for the Signal Corps Army Pictorial Service, and the film they made was used in training centers all over the country. Soldiers studied that film carefully, noting every move, watching every maneuvre, learning every lesson that could possibly be learned from ob- serving a perfect job of reconnaissance patrol. Thus, through the use of this audio-visual method, the training of hundreds of thousands of men was speeded up and made more effec- tive. Today, films are an essential part of America's military training program. As the Basic Field Man- ual puts it: "They teach through the eye and ear combined and by thus utilizing two of the physical senses compel interest and impress a lasting picture of the lesson or lessons presented." RCA is proud that its projectors, its film record- ing and reproducing facilities play an important part in this vital training program. They help make Americans better soldiers — in a shorter time! That means RCA 16 mm. sound projectors are today available only for war purposes. And that means you should keep the equipment you now have in good running order. Make it last until Victory is won, and you can again secure these superior projectors for your edu- cational work! RCA Victor Division • Educational Dept. RADIO CORPORATIOK OF AMERICA, Camden, N. J.
